Oooo! That background stamp is absolutely delish, Colleen! And I love that this makes me feel just a little bit cooler with the addition of that sweet, little leaf! Aaaah for it to be fall again. Sigh. Thanks so much for playing along with my Cardstock Challenge at Papercraft Star!

Great card, Colleen.
CONGRATULATIONS on your wins! I especially love the wedding card. It is absolutely stunning. :)
Lots of little pretties to look at here Colleen! Is that a real dried flower I spy!?!
This is such a lovely card Colleen. Loving the collage effect.
Very pretty and interesting! Love the background with text and beautiful butterflies! And, sweet collection of embellies! Take care and have a wonderful weekend!
Colleen, LOVE that background stamp and the flower and all of the other interesting details! PRETTY card!
Love the kraft card background in particular. The stamped image is wonderful.
Congratulations on your very worthy wins!

Oh Colleen, this is so fantastic... I love the saying on the die-cut... the background is beautiful!
Eclectic, yes, and it's a look that's difficult to pull off and have it look good. You've managed that beautifully!
Your card here looks great. That touch of twine is the perfect touch..
Hugs~
Gorgeous card ... love everything about this ... thanks for playing along with Jinny's challenge at Papercraft star
Great card Colleen! Love the background and all the eclectic bits!
Love your background and the card is fab. What a wonderful sentiment.
Congrats on your wins.
Beautiful!
Classy. Love the eclectic mix of elements. Perfectly put together.
That is a wonderful sentiment, Colleen! I love the collage you've made here. You do collage so well!
Sorry I've been MIA lately--I've checked out almost 10 of your posts--WOOOOOOW! You knock my socks off--SUPER TALENTED:)
This one is just beautiful. I have looked at the K&C die cuts and wondered how they would turn out on a card. Well, you just nailed it with this one and may make me buy some to play with. I love how the colors worked out and your sprinkling of pearls was just genius!
hugs,
Ellen
Beautiful card, I love all the pretty embellishments together =) Thanks for joining our YCU challenge!
Very cool card. I love the eclectic look! Thanks for playing along with us at Young Crafters Unite!
I have collage creations on the brain today (that's the topic for today's Stretch Your Stamps lesson), so this is quite a treat to see! You mixed these elements so very nicely, Colleen! That background is so beautiful, and I just LOVE how you scatter those pearls around so artfully. I've tried but just can't get mine to look "right" or scattered when I try something like this. Yours are perfect!
