Hi there! It's time for an all new
Flourishes Timeless Tuesday challenge. Cindy is our wonderful hostess and she is challenging us all to create a Center Step Card. If you are like me and need a tutorial, there is a fab one on SCS ~ click

I took a break from color and went quite neutral with this one. I made a cluster of rolled roses and stamped the
Thanks a bunch sentiment from
