Here is the fabulous inspiration photo from THD:
It just so happens my card fits in the Rerun Challenge at Winnie & Walter ... if I have the luck of the draw, I'll be sending the Lola's Bouquet by Joni Andaya stamp set off to a lucky commenter of my own! Fingers crossed for both of us!
Teresa Collins for the gold-foiled paper, Cosmo Cricket for the DP,
Lola's Cutaways and stamps for the 'succulent, planter, and flower.'
OH look who else came out to play! My all-time favorite Cuttlebug embossing folder!
It has been a fun day ... hope you've enjoyed yours, too ... and thank you for stopping by!
