I'm sorry Barbara, I bombed on the dessert. I have made very very few one layer cards in my time.....this wasn't gonna be one of those times - I had a can full of failures this week. :( ANYWAY when you are exhausted - pull out a favorite and then things come together. This big beautiful bloom is the retiring set that hurts the most this year.....there's always one. :( Happy Tuesday everyone!

Hey, Karen, no problem at all. As you know, I had huge challenges with the one-layer option, but I figured since it was my challenge, I needed to do it. Your card is absolutely lovely. I am so sorry this stamp set is retiring. It is a keeper! Beautiful coloring, lovely bow!

Oh, Karen, you NEVER have to apologize for not doing a one-layer card in my book! I LOVE your gorgeous bows! Amazing card, and I love how you've used the colors. Oh, boo about this stamp set being retired. They always do that to some of my favorites. But that's okay. It's a keeper for me! And I always decide what to get when I see what you use and love! Your card is gorgeous, and I love the layout with the beautiful border die. Stunning! Thanks for having me play with you all this month as guest designer! It's been such fun, and you are all amazing! Hugs! xoxo

I'm with you Karen, it's sad that SU is retiring this stamp set but it's one of those "keepers" I will never let go.
Your card is just a stunner my friend! Your coloring is perfect as always and the big bow just rocks! Love the embossing in the background and the pretty die cut border at the bottom.
