Hello! There are some cards that have to be done again. The Cottage Charm card, is one of them. I must confess I'm in love with sketches that allow some sort of window layout to the card.

The second layer is the exact tone of blue that appears in various decorative elements.  The third layer is ribbon and lace; the first one, picks up that cherry blossom pink that I love, and the second one brings that doily feeling to the card.    The fourth layer is a tricky one...
