Just let me say that I had nothing to do with this card, DD created it entirely on her own- really. She first created her circles using Polished Stone, with various color of reinkers. While they dried, she put acetate through the CB folder. She colored the stems with Garden Green marker and flowers in Vanilla craft using a q-tip. She used a CM circle cutter to cut various circles. Her circles were mounted on the acetate layer. The ribbon and sentiment were added last.
I had to add acetate layers behind the front and back to make this sturdy enough to stand for the photo. Hope you appreciate this and send a few comments on what I think is her best effort to date. Thanks for looking.

To love a child's mind for it's soulful artistry is indeed a gift that should be savored as one would the scent of roses. Thank you for the inspiration and have a Happy......

This is fantastic! Your DD did a fabulous job! I love the Polished Stone circles and the CBed acetate! What a lot of work, but definitely worth it for this masterpiece!

This card is stunning as well as intricate. With so many circle stamps out there, your DD chose to make each circle out of polished stone--quite an achievement, even for a grown up. But then to add this to more intricate techniques, you should be very proud of your work, DD.
Thanks for sharing, proud Mom. Thanks for creating, DD.
