We both went for a Purple card. Yours is beautiful!
These flowers are also very nice to use on sympathy cards. I haven’t thought of that yet. What a great idea! Thank you for the inspiration.
Two fantastic projects Stesha! All the layers and details are gorgeous. I love that you used bold colours for a sympathy card. Rochelle xo
Love, love, love your cards, Steshsa!!! The bold color combos are just stunning!!!
Gorgeous Grape just works perfectly and is such a fun take on the suite!
Sooo beautiful. Two different, but very impressing cards with amazing colour combination.
Different but both cards are beautiful !
wonderful project, dear Stesha.. love the completly different looks!
Beautiful projects Stesha – love the colours
Beautiful projects! I especially like the card box you’ve done. The coloured poppy outline pieces seem to shimmer – I had to read carefully to see what you’d done as I initially thought you’d embossed them in shimmery black.
