These cards are great! I especially like the ones made with the black eyed Susans.

I absolutely love the way you layered the cards and the way you made the flowers come right off the card as well as the use of the knitter sitting on a rug. Your use of colors makes me want to do these cards. Thanks for sharing.

Unknown said...

Love your cards, especially the orange one. Thanks so much for the inspiration!

Unknown said...

Karen,

I like all of your card designs (even if I though I would probably change the pink "Gift Card-Card" to another color, because I have never been much of a "pink girl"), but I especially like the Black-eyed Susan cards.
