    This is stunning Beth. I don't think I've seen both an easel and shadow box put together like this before. My mouth is still dropped open at it's beauty. Turks and Caicos huh - while I sit here in over 3 feet of snow!!! LOL I'm so happy for you it is just gorgeous there. Everyone should see it at lease once. Enjoy your day

    Back to snow and cold...ugh. But glad you had a chance to get away for a week.

    Stunning creation. Your image is colored up beautifully, and the brown, pink and cream combo is perfect. Love those background papers to tie into your theme too. Lovely details all way round and the shadow box easel card is gorgeous. Another beauty, Beth.

    You picked a great week to take a holiday...the weather was so cold here! I am so glad to hear you had a holiday, you so deserved it!

    I love this card Beth. I have never seen a shadow box made into an easel card, that is such a nice idea! You always come up with such great ideas. I absolutely love pinks and browns together....and you have done such a beauty project. I love the image, your colouring and the whole shadow box/easel idea! Perfect...just perfect!
