I'm still trying to find time for last week's, last week was crazy for me. For this I was able to use the ef which DH brought back from his trip to Maine. I'd tried ordering it last year, even prepared to suck up international shipping. But it went out of stock between ordering and processing, and I lost money on the refund. That always seems to happen with refunds when exchange rates are involved. You wouldn't think it was possible for them to change so much from one day to the next. Anyway, it suddenly occurred to me that I could get it sent to ME. I used Inktense pencils for colouring it, adding some Stickles and Liquid Pearls. Sponged gently with distress inks, and then added some spatter.

Oh no I am so sorry to hear you lost your money ordering this folder. It is a great folder and you colored it beautifully. It works perfect for the Force of Nature challenge too.

It's not always easy to order in an other country, I've got troubles several times, and the postage is often very expensive, this folder is so pretty and you've used it so well, I wish I could walk in your field of wild flowers!!

The combination of embossing and coloring works so well here!! This is such a sweet image and perfect for the challenge! It makes me think of how a tiny weed can break apart concrete - such is the force of nature!

Yay for getting supplies through Maine! Love how you colored this gem and made this delightful and happy card. Cassie is sure to be cheered by everything on this from the happy flowers, to the fun colors, to those adorable ladybugs. Awesome card.
Yep, international banking is definitely a pain! Sorry you lost on this one, but I am so very happy you ended getting this ef.
