When I started working on my card for today I had an entirely different card in mind. That card included Dreams Du Jour. But somewhere along the way it came out differently – it has the same color scheme and the same pattern paper but this card does not resemble what I had in mind. …

Today's card uses one of the bigz dies (Flower, Daisy #2). I really like this die especially when used with the Tea Party Designer Series Paper. This paper is so beautiful with the colors Almost Amethyst, Pretty in Pink, So Saffron, Certainly Celery and Basic Gray I used So Saffron, Almost Amethyst and Tea Party…

As you can see it came out really…
