I love how my version of Melissa Bickford’s fabulous card turned out!

I used a pre-printed card base with that great double-line border, stamped a centered sentiment and then framed it with the bright die-cut flowers (I was amazed how stamping just the centers on the pink flowers in black ink brought the flowers to life).
