Where does the weekend go? Seriously I seem to be living for the next bank holiday or day off work lately. I think we should do 3 day weeks, wonder whether my boss would agree with me, ummmmm, best put that on the back burner.

I like your offestting of the sentiment & the scalloped circle behind it & how that is carried through with the muslin weave behind the image panel. It really does look as if there is s dusting of snow all over this & that big flower is intriguing. This is what I would call a very daring card - & I love the way you have used the cool reds & cool greys adding to the wintery feel of htis. Love those hints of aqua peeking trhough in the patterned paper & the way your stamped swirls around the image echo the curls in her hair.
I never quite know what to expect with your creations & it's great to see see the use of Gesso & paint with the Sassy images.
Thanks for the link about the flower punches - much appreciated.
