Thankful for Peggy

This is a card for a special friend who is part of my ladies group. She recently sold her house and is moving to Southern California to be closer to her family.  We are happy for Peggy because she is finally getting her wish, but sad for all of us because we will miss her sunny disposition and beautiful smile. I decided I would try to compete with my good friend Donna Pheland, queen of layers, and see how many I could put on one small card.  With the floral spray I count seven. you can't tell from the picture but the paper behind the brick background is shimmer paper and the edges of the doily and chloe branch are embossed with gold.

I used the following dies
Diversions Brick cover plate
Cheery Lynn French Doily
Spellbinders Lotus Blossom
Spellbinders Royal Circle
Spellbinders Spellbinders Lacy circles
Cheery Lynn Horizon Fishtail Banners
Frantic Stamper Ivy
Cheery Lynn Leaves
Memory Box Tall Choloe 
Spellbinders Bitty Blossoms



I will enter the following Challenges
