We are excited to welcome Lesley Seabrook as our Guest Designer!  Lesley blogs at Lesley's Stampin Trix and the name does not lie.  Lesley has lots of sweet stamping tricks up her sleeve.  This gorgeous card really shows Lesley's talents.  The beautiful cream embossed panel looks striking when paired with the floral image.  I love that idea!  Be sure to pop by Lesley's blog and leave a comment!

Enjoy the inspiration of the design team!
