    Hi, Heather,
    The colors you combined here are so exquisite and elegant. They were my good friend's favorite colors for her whole wardrobe :) She passed away from breast cancer exactly 10 years ago this month. How fitting for my dear friend. I'll try to CASE this in her memory. Thank you for the inspiration.

    Oh Wow! Your card is stunningly beautiful. Love the way you've combined the vintage look of the Tea Rose with more contemporary background papers and sewing! Great!
