This card is for today's SCS Free For All(F4A14)! Inspired by a Collection! Aside from collecting craft stuff, I collect ornaments. I love glass ornaments the best. I love intricate designs,whimsical, and floral. This card makes me think of a clear glass bulb with a beautiful flower hand painted or etched on the outside. Love that!
Try as I might I wanted this card to work for this week's sketch challenge, but my flower was so big and the horizontal band covered most of it up...gasp! I opted not to go there. LOL! Boo Hoo! I ended up with a funky layout, though. Oh, well!

Betty, this is so lovely; that stylized lilies of the valley is a gorgeous image, especially in those vibrant colours I can just imagine little glass bells. I wouldn't say no to a few more glass ornaments - I have some *boiled sweets" from Venice, and some tiny little animals I bought at a Christmas fair in Paris, but that's about it.
