notes: LOVING how this turned out!; normally I don't give away cards/tags early, before it appears on a launched blog, but my sister-in-law was staying with us Saturday-Tuesday, so I sent the card with her! She loves it! 

11. sage green cardstock base 5" x 7" and the light blue cardstock panel about 4.5" x 4" for sky = Neenah
