I am a bit late with my case of Melody (lacyquilter) but I had to play. Also I had to play with my Natural Beauty stamp set since I know how much she loves it and we have done several personal challenges with it.
I rarely use the birds, but today I used three of them, plus three leaves and three flowers.
I also incorporated the TLC723 challenge which is to stamp with an embossing folder - you can see my embossing folder stamping on the layer under the stamped layer - look to the left of the card above and under the leaves. I really like this look and will do it again soon.
Many congratulatory hugz, Melody. I always enjoy your wonderful cards and sweet comments.

What a beautiful revival for this stamp set! I love the design and the fantastic cutting of the butterflies, flowers and bird! The EF Stamping is really a nice added touch and I do see it peeking out of the corner! Would love to see this IRL because I'm sure it is even more beautiful than comes out in the photo.

Oh, Nancy, as soon as I saw your name, I knew you were going to have a gorgeous natural beauty card. And, yes it is. An interesting choice for the embossing folder stamping that works wonderfully. I love it all.

You make such fabulous cards with that set, Nancy - I always love seeing them. This was a standout when I took a quick peek at the gallery home page last night before turning the lights out. I especially love the little bird peeking out from behind the flower.

What a stunning creation using this stamp set. I love this stamp set and did buy it 2nd hand, because it is just wonderful. How fun to find out that you and Melody love it.....Thanks Nancy for the inspiration......I have a special place in my heart for 3's as well. Love the sparkle and all of your details on this charming card, Nancy. You have knocked it clean out of the park with this.
