I love how you trimmed out New Leaf, Lee Ann! I have *got* to try that! And I really like the big twine bows on the buttons--very nice card!

Cutting out that leaf really adds the perfect dimension, love your card!

Nerina said...

This is so beautiful! Love the patterned papers you mixed - especially the way you've flipped the stripes! The leaves add so much dimension - and the buttons are perfect! Gorgeous!

Katie said...

Oh my goodness...what an amazing card! I love the colors, the pop of red behind the patterned paper, and the horizontal and vertical stripes! Well done!

Amy Kolling said...

Oh pure poppy and ripe avacado.....very nice together!! I like your variation on the sketch....instead of a rectangle sentiment you used a blossom with the leaf image. Great card!

Pretty card, Lee Anne! I like your color combo. I especially like how you used the leaf as the backdrop for the sentiment. Great idea!

Kara said...

Oh Lee Anne, I love this. I'm always so jealous of people who can use red and green together and not make it look Christmas-y. You rock! I love the randomness of the button placement too.

Wonderful card! Love the leaves behind the sentiment! Great details!

Very pretty. I like the way the stripes go in different directions. It makes the card more interesting.

Hi Lee Anne! Thanks for checking in on me over on my blog the other day. I'm fine and feeling great, just been REALLY busy! I did make a card for this challenge though - now to get it posted!
