My DD Crystal announced another of her challenges yesterday - please make a card for her boyfriend's grandmother with a cat on it and make it really, really pretty with lots of flowers (but don't use any weird or ugly flowers).
This is what I came up with after much input from Crystal since I can't tell an "ugly" flower from a pretty one.
PT - 11
PS - thanks to Pat Smethers for the fence - another thing I have been hoarding for awhile and had to dig out this weekend.

OMG, this is gorgeous, Nancy! Crystal certainly knows pretty flowers because all these are just beautiful. Love the fence, too. I think Crystal will score BIG points when she gives this card. Love it!!

Well, I think you met the challenge admirably. That fence sure is adorable and the greenery exquisite. (Haven't used that word in a long time, but it seemed appropriate for this card.)

Wow - you've really created a scene here (the good kind!). Love the nestie frame around your window and the flowers surely all are the good kind - beautiful. Great DP, sparkle and that fence - stroke of genius! Beautiful card Nancy.

Ok Nancy this is amazing!!! I realize your daughter issues some pretty tricky challenges, but you really stepped up to the plate on this one. Holy Guacamole' Girlfriend this is stunning. What did she say when she saw this-she must have been blown away. This has all the makings to be feature at "Bearziwood"!!! haahaha (Boy since Pam said that in a comment-I can't get it out of my head) This is just exquisite and certainly a show stopper with all that awesome detail and imagery. Magnificent!
