Nature

"Adopt the pace of NATURE her secret is patience" by Ralph Waldo Emerson. What a great quote! Reminding you to slow down sometimes. This is Mushroom Umbrella by artist Betsy LePlatt available at Squigglefly . I added some iridescent medium on the wings to make them shimmer.

This card is for Squigglefly Challenge #10, SFC1012 Follow the Recipe - 1) paperclip (metal or colored, plain or fancy shaped); 2) flower (any type or amount); 3) pattern paper (may be scrapbook paper, hand-stamped paper, newspaper, computer printed paper, digi-paper or ?). I've got all three - flowers on the ground, epoxy clip by the crochet ribbon bow and two kinds of pattern paper! Good to go!

Items used:
All cardstock, patterned paper, border, crochet ribbon, epoxy clip, saying - CTMH

Melissa this is really sweet. I love your coloring- especially like your little row of flowers at the bottom and the sparkle on the wings. The quotation is a wonderful one!
Thanks for playing in Squigglefly's challenge this week!
