I even borrowed it recently to make this card - I wonder if she recognized it.
Today, it's all about this Handpicked Bouquet that was rearranged to
fit her sketch. A bouquet this pretty deserved a lovely linen panel that was cut
using a PFS Essential Stitched Rectangle. That lovely sentiment was stamped
at Marcia's - from The Greetery: Opposites Attract.
I used a much-loved Leafy Garland die from Altenew for Verena's 'moon shape'
cut from vellum for an extra feminine touch! Here are the inks I've used
for that pretty bouquet:

Thanks, Verena, for this gorgeous Sketch #687 - I know it will be much loved
by our card makers! So, what are you waiting for? We cannot wait to see
our gallery full of your gorgeous cards!
