e up with this week!!My neighbor, Alida, has a lovely garden. Lots of different colors and flowers. And it changes with the seasons. Over the years it has become fuller and fuller. When Orla was a toddler(top picture), Alida's flowers were hard to resist! Now Maeve (bottom picture) is the flower/dandelion thief of the neighborhood. :) Currently Alida has lots of late summer flowers and it looks gorgeous, th
is card was inspired 
by her garden.Awhile back, a long while, I had seen a card where the person stamped the Sanded Background stamp with versamark over the main image and then clear embossed. I liked that look. I just ordered the Sanded stamp. (I know, just got it! Can you believe it?) So I wanted to try that out. So that is what the close up pic is trying to show.

Very pretty Kerry - love the pictures of Mauve too.
Gorgeou! Wow, I love the effect with the Sanded Background (and no I can't believe you just got it, that's one of my favorite BG stamps) I've got to try that out now. - Wonderful pictures of Maeve, she's so adorable.
WOW, that embossed sanded background looks fabulous on your card. What a beautiful touch. OMG Maeve is so cute!!!!
Stunning card Kerry! There are so many fun details on there. Super card. And look at Maeve! She just gets cuter and cuter each time I see a picture -- certainly not a baby any more!
Love it!!! that embossed look is great, and I ordered that cuttlebug folder too!

Your card is gorgeous!!! Your daughter is beautiful too! When I was little I brought my my a huge bouquet of tulips...freshly picked from my neighbors yard.
Kerry, that is beautiful!! And Maeve is so adorable!!
this is a neat sketch to work with - I have it saved to do just need to find the time! Perhaps in the AM - seems to be when I get stuff done lately. Anyway I love the color combo you choose to use such great inspiration a garden can give!
Kerry,
This card is very pretty. The color pallet of purples is nice and cool (like the fall air coming in the window right now!)
I also like your choice of hardware for the corner - it's different and draws your eye to the flowers, making it pop.
