    I saw that technique but haven't given it a try yet. Now that I've seen it again in your lovely example, Ardyth, I will definitely do it. I love it in the green, too.

    I absolutely love how you have coloured that flower - really caught my eye, and I had to have a closer look. Beautiful colouring, so delicate.

    I love your leafy card too - looks beautiful!
