What a fun Pinterest board, Stacy. There is a site I see on Facebook that often has really interesting gates, fences, pathways through gardens. I think it's Owner Builder Network. If I owned a home.......and had many dollars.This is what I chose: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/270356783869590226/
Remember the IC that was a ribbon store? Well I got sucked in and ordered a few pieces. I used one of my cling wrap backgrounds (WT and WCW009), cut the deckle edge opening and glued the ribbon to a glimmer cs. Popped up the green piece (I've decided it looks like malachite) over it, added some gold embossed leaves, sequins and a sentiment. This card is for my friend of 50 years, Diane, who has been there for me in so many ways (yesterday's F4A). She is absolutely amazing; the kind of person who shows up with bread when there is a death in the family; will pick you up to go anywhere; holds so many positions in this community; volunteers for lots of organizations; taught for many years. There is no one like her. I can't go anywhere with here where she doesn't know someone or they know her. A real presence!

Oh, what a beautiful card for your friend. She sounds amazing. I love that you used ribbon you purchased during one of our previous IC weeks! Your background is gorgeous. I really like how you embossed the leaves. You are giving me ideas to file away for future!
