You make such beautiful cards- if I received this, it would be framed. What a nice memory- love how it is framed and loving the flowers and lace!
What a sweet card! Gorgeous frame and lush flowers. I love it! So grateful you joined our Challenge at Word Art Wednesday this week. Leaving you with God's Word in Psalm 34:8 which says, "Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in him." Hugs always...
