Fantastic new release! LOVE the new ink colors!! In my cart already! LOL
It has been a pleasure to look over this new collection. Holy moly, you all outdid yourselves! I love the two cards above. Susan, yours is the very essence of sophisticated elegance. Wow! Shari, I love yours as well. When I first looked at that adorable birdie the other night, I KNEW it had to fly into my basket (cart) — and it did! I looked at your card and for half a beat, I thought it was a winter card (get cracking on Christmas à la Jenn S). I saw the white flowers almost as snowflakes and the swirling waves background as the swirling wind. I love it as you have presented it and you gave me ideas of how to make it into a dazzling winter card, too. LOVE BOTH!
