Well, Lynn, this is one TLC that I do just about every day in creating my art. I LOVE to cut, snip, and tuck, it's like playing paper dolls for grown girls! Thanks and let me know what you think of my entry!
I've had parts of this card on a design board for months...almost ready, but not quite. Does that ever happen to you? But under the challenge issued today, all those pieces came together in a beautiful way and just in time, I might add!
This card is a kickstand card. I used Basic Grey's Sultry 'POSH' paper as my DP. I stamped Oxford Impressions ice cream parlour background near the top in TH di dried marigold. Making Memories journaling paper was used for the Celebrate (SU's Lexion of Love) which was inked with an unknown bown dye ink. My cut-out is a gorgeous lily of the valley from Stamp Francisco. I stamped on SU certainly celery, embossed in clear and then used bleach to white the tiny blooms. It is popped on foam mounting squares. I tied a double sided satin ribbon to the bottom of the flowers. The mat for this panel is SU tangerine tango in color. I used Cornish Heritage Farms weave background in TH di frayed burlap. A piece of dark pink baby ric-rac finishes it off.
There's a surprise up the side of the journaling scallop, SCS screen names! This card is for my cyber friend, CA Kath who arrives this week in my town on business. We'll have dinner together at a favorite spot of mine along the river and continue the friendship we began in cyberspace...can't wait...I'm just hoping she's too busy today to see this!!!
Thanks for looking, and your comments are most welcome.

Well, this is CaKath finally chiming in. Yes, I got to meet the One & only- One4Joy tonight! She presented me with this INCREDIBLE, beautiful card. I was so touched. Lily of the Valley is my very favorite flower as I was born in May. We got to have dinner, lots of conversation and Susan shared some of her amazing projects with me. Ladies, it doesn't get any better for a stamper! I will cherish this lovely creation. Thank you, Susan; you have brought me 'joy' tonight.

susan, if my 'parts' that are waiting for me could come together like this, I would be one happy stamper. This is incredible! Gorgeous colors and your cutting is amazing.
