This is for Kittie's Featured Stamper Challenge - Miss Vicky and Carey's Sketch Challenge. I found a lot of inspiration in Vicky's gallery. I selected this one because it's beautiful and it reminded me of Carey's terrific sketch.
I flipped the top and bottom sections of Vicky's card. I used the doily as a mask as Vicky did and for the circle element on the sketch. After sponging with Mint Macaron ink, I now have a green doily for another project as you can see in the photo. I also sponged with the coral ink at top. I used the same stamp set as Vicky did, although I did use some different colors and placement. Instead of matting the panels, I sponged the coral on the edges and used a colored base. This card is for my friend dealing with cancer treatment. The verse is special to her. I added butterflies at the top which are symbolic of hope and life. TFL

Oh my, Diane, this is striking!! I love the soft sponging on the top portion with the beautiful butterflies, and the bottom portion is beautiful with the gorgeous red flowers. The sentiment is marvelous!! I say Amen to it! It's one of my favorites!
