Absolutely beautiful card. When I was looking over your supply list and I saw the Leaf and Floral background stamp, I thought wait a minute, she didn't use that and then I went back and studied the card a little more and saw it, very subtle in the background behind the print stamp. Love it. Thanks for sharing.
