Beautiful. Love the image and the design! Looks wonderful
I sure hear you on the flatter cards for this year. SOme of mine had to be sent as small parcel rate! Those were a fortune to mail! Phew!

You are going to see lots of flatter cards on my blog this year. I will save the thicker width styles for those that are hand delivered.

Kathleen said...

Gosh, what a fabulous card to start off your 2015 collection, love the image and all the glitter and I did all flat cards in 2014, in fact I even forget now to do raised cards for hand delivered cards. lol
Happy New Year.

The color palette is gorgeous. You are off to an amazing start once again this year. :o) Postal rates are heartbreaking, aren't they? :( Happy New Year again, my dear friend!
