Stunning wildflowers - the soft blues are so welcome in these hot days, and I love the delicate lace holding your wildflower bouquet in place. This is gorgeous... and I'm so pleased to hear it's a sabbatical not a vanishing. I've been far quieter than usual this year (on the crafting front, at least), but I'm hoping the future will rebalance the books.

I so understand the sabbatical! This is gorgeous. I love the soft blues and the flowers in front...a romantic winter feeling...and the lace was a perfect touch...so elegant this! Hope you are well!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a beautiful project! I adore the way you used the wildflowers and made them seem so magical! I also like all the elements you added to give the whole thing a sense of texture and dimension. Thank you for sharing your talents with us for this week's Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge!
