This is stunning. The colour palette you have used is great. I thought the colours went together so well. It is such a restful card for some reason. I think she will love it.

I just bought the 'you will find refuge' stamp set and chickadee die six weeks ago. I just used it this week to make a sympathy card. This was my first ODB purchase. I love the stamps with coordinating dies and I would love to get more!

Oh gosh, I have this set and the leaf punch, too; but I never thought to put them together. I love how you did this!
