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)
