A "just because" card.
The colors are not showing up correctly - especially the greens should be more pastel.
We are overcast today and I could not achieve the true colors in photographing :-(

I promise! It started out FLAT.
But I could not escape myself.
The rose cried out, sobbing hysterically to be used.
I could not refuse.
Love the creamy dreamy Embossing Powder. Even though it is not "detail" powder, the Cosmic line works really well on detail images.

Now my card is not flat for mailing.
Sigh.

Beautiful backyard flowers!!! Love your new header too :) Another pretty card - the stitching is a nice touch and it wouldn't be a Donna card without 3-D LOL
WOW, way beyond gorgeous!!
Such a beautiful card Donna. Your rose is gorgeous, I love the colour scheme and such pretty detailing too.
hugs Sue xx
Another stunning beauty! You're amazing the way you put things together Donna. Love the stitching detail and the lace and your delicate little rose finishes off this card to perfection.
I love pink and green as a colour palette Donna and this is beautiful and your stitching reflects the pattern on the DP so nicely.

Its Beautiful ! I loved the colors.I can totally understand how we start with flat card n then end up with not so flat one :) !
A gorgeous card and I sure don't blame you for using that pretty rose. It's a wonderful addition.
Look like the azaleas are blooming in your yard...very pretty.
It went from 75 degrees here yesterday to 48 today. Yuck! No azeleas blooming here...just daffodils and maybe my crocus. I'll have to check.
Beautiful use of colour, love the sentiment and the gorgeous pink shade! Definitely had to have the rose, lovely to see something so beautiful! It is finally starting to feel like Spring here, it's amazing how much better you can feel when it's not raining lol! xx
Such a sweet card. The pink and green color combo make the card very unique and beautiful. Rose looks very pretty.
it's a very beautiful card Donna with gorgeous lace,

Donna this is absolutely stunning! I so love the contrasting greens with the pink tones. I think that helps to make the card more attractive along with the lace and bling and other elements. And, adding the rose was a perfect addition too. Thanks for sharing your talents again!
Just so darn lovely, De!! I am in love with that lace, the DP, the flower, the sentiment, and oh well, the whole card! I saw those flowers and was very jealous until I remembered where you live!!! ;-)
Gorgeous sentiments only card, all the different elements are beautiful. Thanks for playing along with us at Shopping Our Stash for the challenge.
First let me say that I just love your new blog banner. So springlike.
The card is magnificent! That lace is incredible and the rose, despite that it means the card isn't envelope-friendly, is a fabulous embellishment for this card. Loving the pink and green combo and I'm so impressed with your perfect stitching. Finally, thanks for playing along at Tuesday Throwdown this week, my friend.
Stunning card Donna! Really lovly colors and embellishemnts. Thanks for playing Bingo with us at Papertake Weekly :)
I love your new header, Donna. And what a lovely sentiment on this card. The rose looks perfect and it is quite flat. Lol.

Well here's another one I missed! Beautiful - that lace is so eye-catching. Love all the details and the beautiful stitching too. Pink and green - my favourite colour combo. Gorgeous borders you used too!
Your back yard is lovely - so bright and sunny too. Can't wait for spring!
Hugs,

That's a beautiful Just Because card. Lovely embellishments.
Oooh, isn't that pretty! I'm just in love with the tulle you so frequently use on your cards. The designer paper is just lovely. Isn't it funny how it photographed correctly but not the cardstock? Camera tricks! The lace is simply gorgeous, and I'm so glad you stilled the sobbing of the poor little rose. It looks so happy now! It's wonderful to see that peek of spring in your photograph, too. We had another beautiful day Sunday, but raining again today. That's okay. I have one azalea with big pink buds showing, lots of green popping out. Lovely!
Such a gorgeous card! Love the flower and the beautiful lace you've added, and the stitching is just perfect. Thanks so much for joining us for this week's Tuesday Throwdown Challenge! :) hugs, Kimberly
