Good morning to all my friends and followers its that Wednesday again it comes around so fast and so its the launch of another of our very popular monthly Anything Goes Challenges over at Crafting by Designs.

For my Design Team card today I decided on an image from A Day For Daisies called Pearls In Her Hair. I have to say I loved this stamp and was pleased with my finished card .See what you think .

  7. This is lovely, Carole. I've long admired that image and you've colored her so beautifully. The wispy flowers and delicate accents throughout are so pretty and I love the sheet music paper tucked behind the image. I love the brown paper base... earth tones are always gorgeous. Wonderful work, my friend. Have a beautiful day. :o)
