Beautiful soft pressed fern for your background, Christine. Love your grey stamped leaves and wonderful sentiment too. TFS my friend. Hugs...

Very pretty Christine! Love the soft colours and design from your pressed fern with your branch stamped over top. xx

I’d have never thought to use foliage in a gelli print and how wonderful that looks! The softness of the grey stamp works so perfectly on the pale background. I just played with my gelli plate too but you inspired me to pull it out and try new things with it. Great card!

Wow! This reminds me that I have some of these botanical prints from last retreat. I need to get them out.

So beautiful and elegant. Loved the pressed botanical idea when you showed it to us at the retreat.

I love the very muted colors used. So lovely. I have missed visiting your blog. I had some serious health issues. I am trying to get back in step. I'll visit and see how you made it. All your card are so different, original!

Okay, seriously, I need to go out to the garden and get some leaves and flowers. You do the most amazing things and so simple! Such a beautiful card, Christine. Very soothing.
