I posted my first version of this card for Colour INKspiration #165 on May 8.  Here is another version which we created at our Rocky Retreat this weekend. I did see this card on Pinterest by Wendy Weixler, who also referenced Lisa Curcio. But as usual I like to convert the imperial to metric measurements. Our A4 cardstock is not wide enough or long enough for standard 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" US cards, so by converting for metric you can get 2 cards from one sheet A4 As promised here are the measurements: Metric measurements to fit in our C6 envelopes and imperial - as suggested by Lisa Curcio and Wendy Weixler material I hope you have a creative week and remember,  "don't just post online,  post something pretty!" cheers, Liz

When you open the card front there is another pretty layer to catch your attention. The pot plant is a little simpler than the posy, but there is ple...
