Blessings

Several occasions have arisen which call for quick cards, so I've taken a little break from my series of Concord and 9th's Turnabout Collection.  I have one more sample to go, so stay tuned!  

Meanwhile, Hero's Agapanthus stamp set is getting a lot of attention on several blogs and for very good reason:  it's gorgeous!  Here's my take on one of the images . . . 

I thought the delicate flowers would look nice when contrasted against a rough stone wall.  There are several lovely images in this set and my only complaint is that there's no matching die set.  I fussy-cut this bouquet and it turned out OK, but I would have loved a quicker solution via a matching die . . .
