I honestly think that this particular card has taken me the longest, of ANY card I've made, to create! There's so many little details, but I'm so excited with how it turned out! And the time was worth it as I will be sending this one to my oldest stepdaughter, who will be walking in commencement ceremonies in June for her MASTER'S degree (that she got despite having SEVEN kids at home - two of which were twins born during her FINAL semester!). LOL - I had nothing to do with it, but I'm still going to brag about her!

ReplyDeleteMy goodness! The sentiment itself is so moving, and you've certainly made it the focal point. I love the way you've set this up with all those gorgeous flowers cascading down around that amazing frame (love the texture!) Thanks so much for joining us at Frilly & Funkie this week. Your card is stunning.
ReplyDeleteAn absolutely beautiful card, your step daughter will be blown away ! The sentiment is perfect and so beautifully framed by the flowers. Thanks for joining us at Frilly and Funkie. Sue C x
ReplyDeleteOh Sara, this is so cool! I love what you did with the sentiment and that mirror is a fabulous piece of work. The lace is a gorgeous embellishment and the flower cluster is beautiful. Congratulations to your step-daughter and to the whole family - that is a seriously awesome accomplishment and my hat's off to her for doing it while raising a large family!
