I think this is such a beautiful sentiment about life. Often it takes me paying more attention to beauty around us to realize how beautiful life is, having eyes to intentionally see what's really there.
I have a two more cards left to show you from April's Flourishes Release of sets. I have loved working with them. I knew these flowers from the set Garden Gate would colour beautifully on Kraft cardstock with Prismacolor pencils, and I really love a windowed design. The edges of the Kraft layer are cut with a Grand Nestabilities die because I thought the lattice feel would go well here. After I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink I traced over an oval Nestabilities die, then carefully trimmed out the leaves and the line where the die would have cut. It's just another way to do an out of the box style of cutting.
Some lovely green silk, white pearls, Echo Park designer paper (For the Record) and some of our Color Made Easy Pistachio cardstock and it's all done!

You're such an advanced paper crafts artist - I just cannot see me cutting out flowers so beautifully, then the oval aperture. This is definitely a show stopper ♥
This is gorgeous Christine! I love the window look, the colors, and that beautiful bow! Those lattice edges are so perfect! I really love this sentiment as well, it says a lot about how one chooses to live.
Beautiful, Christine! I love the window you created!
