Here is another entry for the Ways to use it challenge for this week. And I never thought the day would come when I would, but I did... cheat and found that I had inadvertently added golden half pearls to my flower. May God forgive me, I still want you to see it.
It is another version of Chris's "lilac sweet peas" (chrisd99). It is such a beautiful card, I wish I could tare up paper so well, I may one day get there! Thank you Chris once more for lending your sweet inspiration to us all and for the image of course.

Ah Peggy, I'm so glad you had a go at the card, that's such a big compliment! Also glad you could use one of the images and I love the soft, pretty colouring, background and colour scheme, such a lovely card. You made me laugh about the paper ripping and I hope you have another go at it. Hugs, Chris x
