My daughter, Caroline, is currently in Spain working on her PHD in Spanish History. The new Watercolor World Stamp Set, which is part of My Favorite Things, made me think of her and I can’t wait to send her this card.
WHAT I LOVE ! The heart (a symbol of love across the Atlantic) was quickly cropped from a page of the Country Floral Lane Designer Series Paper using the coordinating Country Bouquet Punch.
