A really quick post this morning with only short prattling about how the card was made. When I saw this sentiment/image at Bugaboo Stamps, I grabbed it right away but this is the first chance I've had to use it. It's a sentiment I truly believe. :-D
I used ProMarkers to color the flowers, then cut the image piece with a rectangle die from QuicKutz, inking the edges before adding it to the striped background dp (Echo Park.) I used a scrap of mulberry paper which has been on the desk for at least a month and grabbed the gingham ribbons, one to wrap and one to make into a bow. I thought the 3 pearls on each side of the image piece would set that off a bit.

I based this on the sketch at The Outlawz.
