Jan 2022 - 3 Dot Flowers - Every Moment Card. This started out for my Scribbled Lives post, but I found the lettering too small, but the right size for the card...

Leslie BD card & Envelope

I saw a wonderful card image of flowers in a jug on a friend's blog and had to paint it... I'm pleased with the results BIG GRIN

And since I just took another floral decorated lettering class with Heather Held, thought I'd do the envelope with that technique. Not as delicate as Heather does, but will get there eventually...
