ReplyDeleteSweetie,
ReplyDeleteI don't have a lot of time for what I call "Proper Blogging" these days.. but while having one of my quick scrolls down my (ever growing) Bloglovin New Posts list.. I saw this and just had to pop in and leave some love.
It's so eye catching! You have brought the image to life beautifully.
Really hope you are well.
Huggles,

Hi, Desire! First, thank you for the lovely potato bush bloom! How GORGEOUS it is (nothing tops Mother Nature, does it?). Wonderful blue colors on your distressed card! So pretty, and very Asian in theme. Of course, your flowers always mesmerize me because of their uniqueness - Your sentiment is so true - Our lifestyles truly reflect the promise of who we are - it took me a while to appreciate that i could genuinely be "myself" without fear, but I adore each day now. Thank you for always having a nice uplifting sentiment on your blog. hugs, de
ReplyDeleteA great card and love the blue used to make it. Thankyou for joining our first challenge at Crafting From the Heart challenge blog.
