No image of a blooming Vanilla Orchid...just the scent of a Vanilla candle which burns while I create...so decided to post a 'bleeding heart' fleur for Valentine's Day...enjoy.
Nature showing her love to all.

  2. Gorgeous card, front AND back. I love the aged edges and handwritten bits along with the torn printed paper.
