I did some research to see how to color the delicious primroses, and found some fabulous pictures of blue ones--and it coordinated with the colors in the Frilly & Funkie inspiration picture, so I decided to go with that! :)
Here's the card (sorry for the poor photo quality)~

Stampin' Sisters in Christ: Create Something that reflects YOU (I'm a Jane Austen Girl to the core!)
This card gave me fits. I ruined about 5 pieces of acetate trying to get my vision into fruition! But I have to say, it was worth it! I LOVE the way this turned out! :) Like I said above, this card really reflects my love for Jane Austen--I'm an Austen girl through and through! I've learned so much about life from reading her books and I think I'd love to meet her right away when I get to heaven! ;)

Stunning use of acetate - I hate the stuff - always gives me issues - just looking at options for CASual Friday now and crying....
Also wanted to say that I've replied to your email about my prize from Technique Tuesday (did it 2pm my time today, it's 9.30 pm now) so was worried you hadn't got it reading the comment you left on my blog today.
