I really admire handmade papers and this one is from Paper Source. I liked the fact that it incorporated both gold and silver in the bamboo images. Kept the main panel rather simple so the background paper would hold its own.

Kudos to you Sallie, for actually cutting into that gorgeous hand made paper. I have some that's at least 30 years old - I take it out, touch it lovingly and then hide it back away - dumb but that is the idiosyncrasy of hoarding . . . and logically I know it needs to be used cause if I die, my kids will just toss it in the garbage!!!! I like the deckle edge you used around the sentiment as it rather resembles the edge on the hand made piece. Beautifully done!

Sallie, I agree with you about handmade paper! The handmade paper in the background is so gorgeous! The gently stamped butterflies with the sentiment are lovely. I love the card, Sallie! You create such fantastic artwork!
