How pretty-great interpretation of the photo! Thanks for joining us at Die Cut Diva's!
again - beautiful card Lin - and isn't retirement the best thing ever!!!
Ahh Lin very clever use of the wreath and hearts. Perfect interpretation, love it with the watercoloured background.
What a gorgeous card Lin - love that colour combination and the die cuts that would have made the focal point quite quick, and the watercolour background is wonderful.
Blessings

Very pretty :-) Did you use the "smoothing" technique for the background?
Lovely wreath on a very dreamy background!! Ha I love your saying 'time flies when you're retired'!! :) So glad you linked up at Die Cut Diva's!!
Hi Janet! I used the smooshing technique (using a piece of acrylic), but since this was NOT watercolor paper, I got a slightly different effect....the ink dried almost immediately, and I had to smoosh several times to get good coverage. I kind of like the way it looks around the edges......

I loved this card in the Gallery Lin, and it is just such a sweet lovely card. So soft and pretty.
Oh golly this is so sweet!!
Very pretty!
Love your splattered background and the wreath full of hearts. Perfect soft colors. Lovely. I'm sorry I missed that scramble.
So glad you joined us at Die Cut Divas.
