We arrived home last night after being gone 9 days, we had a wonderful visit with our families and then headed to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan to see the fall colors, it was just beautiful, even with the fog and rain we had.
I bought this die and stamp set at Hobby Lobby on sale, the wreath die is also from Spellbinders. Now that I am not in a hurry I see I should have done a cream background for my stamped flowers, the white just stands out too much, that is what I get for doing last minute cards.

Very pretty card, I wouldn’t have noticed the white outline except you mentioned it, although I too get picky with my cards, especially when I post them. Glad you had a nice trip! Sometimes the colors look especially nice with the fog.
I think this is pretty lovely for a last minute card Connie. You've achieved a lovely victorian look to this feminine card. Sounds like you had a fun time on vacation too! You should put Maine on your list for fall color. This time of year here is so vibrant and beautiful.
Outline or no outline, either way I love this delightful creative card Connie, very pretty papers.
i'll bet it feels good to be home...i hope you share lots of pictures from your trip!!
this is an especially pretty card connie, it definitely has a nice victorian feel. i like the white boarder around the flowers and talking about those flowers, they are really beautiful!!
Sweet pink card!I am glad to hear you had a great time with your family!Hugs!
Such a pretty stamp and you colored it beautifully!
I can see why you picked that image up, Connie! It's beautiful! And so is your spring time coloring. Lovely card. Sounds as though you enjoyed a fantastic time - 9 days away from home is a long time! LOL I know you treasure each visit, and every adventure. Thanks for sharing! hugs, de
My first inclination is always to color on white so I would have done the same thing. I wonder how many times I've second guessed myself after I've seen my card in a photo? When I look at this I just see a beautiful card with pretty flowers and paper. Love anything with a wreath. You colored this so sweetly. I also like how the wreath is positioned over the doily part of the paper.
Beautiful card. Nice wreath die. Are you going to share some photos of your road trip?
There is oodles of pretty detail in this card, Connie. How nice you enjoyed your vacation away. Yes, all the trees up there must be really pretty now.
That Designer Paper is definitely Victorian, so pretty! Your colorful flowers are beautiful and I really love that twiggy wreath--so many uses!!
The pink looks perfect for Victorian! Very nice stamping.
I like the pink colouring of this card.
So pleased to read that you had a great time with your family.
All the best Jan
