By Marisa Ritzen featuring Psalm 1:45 Plain Jane, Heart Quartet and Flutterby dies.

I used this yummy Echo Park paper for my paper as it has one of my favorite colour combinations - pink and green.   Wanted to have a card in my stash to give to my daughter when she starts university to encourage her through the changes and stress starting university will no doubt cause her.
