Here is Cathy's first card which inspired me:
Isn't it beautiful?! I love the background Cathy created! This beauty reminds me of a page from an old book or an old letter. The foliage on the left adds the perfect natural feeling! Finally, I just love the little bow and embellishment in the corner. It's so feminine and dainty. This card is just perfect!
Here is my take:
