An easy layout. Just some stitching and a peeking edge of ancient designer paper. A few sequins. Gosh, when a card is this simple there's not a whole lot to say about it, is there? I should try this more often. Now that the weather is warming up I'll need to streamline my stamping. We've had some unbelievably beautiful days this week. Spring arrived right on time! Have a wonderful weekend!

What a gorgeous card to end the week. Your watercolouring is beautiful, love the shades of blues/violets and how you did the shading around with the pretty green. The sentiment sits well with me today- to find strength to continue on as after all the turmoil of 100 job loses we found out late yesterday that our boss has been transferred. We are all devastated, she was an amazing boss! So with that said off to work to finish my week, last day with our old boss, someone new on Monday! Thanks for sharing today Leslie, so glad you are getting 'spring' weather, it's starting to warm here a bit, it can only get better. Enjoy your weather and weekend!
I'm amazed at your watercoloring talents! No matter what I do mine always look horrible! And flowers are so hard yet yours always look perfect! Wow, Leslie!!
Well, how gorgeous is this? I have to say those lovely shades of blue just speak to me! And then we move down to the sentiment and it also was just made for me today! Hope you have a lovely weekend my friend!
Your card is like a breath of Spring air on this cold day today...so soft and pretty and would cheer anyone up! We are to get snow today, I am ignoring it!! Of course I always love the stitching you do on your cards!!
What a lovely card! You're right - it is soft and pretty! I just love the shades of blue you used. Just right for this sentiment! Enjoy your spring weather. Have a great weekend!
Bravo!! This is exquisite, Leslie. :-)
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL! Love the soft, spring time feel to this card! And of course, the stitching is always a sweet touch! Well done my friend!! Happy Weekend to you & your hubster!
Beautiful no line coloring of your pretty star flowers, Leslie. I love your background wash, double sewing and how you OLD DSP peeks out. Perfect sentiment for your thoughtful card, my friend. TFS Hugs..Nancy

Outstanding no line coloring. I can see how much I need to learn about this technique. This is so gorgeous! I love the pretty colors and the beautiful floral design. And the stitching is a wonderful addition. Perfect for Spring and Easter too.
Leslie, this is so beautiful. I love the soft coloring you did on this and it looks great without the stark black outlines. It's warm here today - up to 77. I hope that it is the start of our Spring also and we don't have any more cold days.
Beautiful Leslie, I always struggle with No line colouring, thanks for the inspiration to keep trying :)
Beautiful stamp and amazing colouring.xx
Oh Leslie you have done an amazing job once again with your lovely coloring, the softness you have achieved with the watercoloring is stunning, Beautifully done, so love the pretty spring scene you have created!
Glad to hear you are enjoying beautiful springtime weather
Another beautiful work of art, Leslie! It looks like you colored on parchment or vellum! Love the soft and dreamy look! Enjoy the springtime!! Hugs, Darnell
Hi, Leslie! You may say your card is simple, but I say it is a glorious masterpiece of Love! Wow! The layout is fabulous with the 3 sided blue border, and your stitching is impeccably straight! I have to make mine deliberately crooked because no way I'm able to do anything straight these days! Your colors and technique are exquisitely applied! I especially like the tiniest, thinnest of lines around your "no edge" petals, and the delicate pastels on the interior portions. The softness is wonderful - I can smell these delightful beauties clear across the country! Leslie, I love everything about this card! hugs, de
Gorgeous card and stamp-fabulous colouring and love the stitching and sentiment feel I could do with that at the moment!At least the grandaughters are well.

This is incredible and so beautiful Leslie... I;m in awe of your skills... those flowers are so lifelike!
STUNNING card Leslie! Your watercolouring is amazing. The colours, depth with shading, background ... all perfectly done. Your stitched border adds a special detail. xx
"Just some stitching" you say...wish I could do that..I love that look! So pretty!
