It's been a minute since I've been able to sit down and create. My dad went in for a heart valve replacement mid January, had a complication, spent a few days in the hospital, then a skilled nursing rehab facility and is now back in the hospital. My mom has vision problems and can no longer drive so we have been the official chauffeurs and caretakers. I don't mind, I wouldn't have it any other way!
I needed some down time last night, so I got crafty. My sweet friend Michele is guesting at a new to me challenge ~ As You See It, so I jumped in with this card!
A sweet piece of patterned paper was my starting point. I popped it onto an ivory card base along with a panel cut with a SSS cover plate. An Altenew Fantasy Floral die cut was adhered to a pierced circle along with my Pinkfresh gold embossed sentiment. A trio of gold confetti bits and some knotted ribbon finished things off. I think I ticked all of the boxes for the challenge!
Thanks for stopping by, I sure do appreciate it!

Such a lovely card! It’s been forever since I joined a challenge So happy you took some time to create. Sending healing thoughts for your dad ❤️
How lovely to have you join in with us Lisa. I do love that sweet DSP - such a great starting point to build the rest of the design around. The embossed top half is a lovely contrast with the busy paper. Thank you for joining in with us at As You See It. :-)
I'm trying again - third time's the charm?
You NAILED it, Lisa! In extraordinarily beautiful ways of ticking off those recipe requirements!
WWCD my friend - the AYSI team is going to love it!
Hugs and prayers for your Dad - and for you and mom, too!

So sorry your dad's had a tough time. I know how concerning and draining that can be. Your down time resulted in a beautiful card, Lisa--love this! Such wonderful elements and the Altenew flower looks the best I've ever seen in those colors! I have it and need to try it with soft colors like this. Sending hugs, Greta
You ticked off all the boxes and in such a beautiful way, Lisa. That paper and your flower are so sweet. Looks like Michele inspired several of us to join that challenge.
Sending prayers that Dad will be well soon.
Your card is absolutely beautiful Lisa and you definitely ticked off all the boxes for the challenge requirements!
