For this project, I chose the A Way With Words Flourished Oval Frame.  And I was itching to play more with my Distress Oxides! I completed the framed sentiment with Susan Tierney-Cockburn's rose buds from Garden Rose 2.  Did you know that all the quotes from the A Bit of Fragrance Collection come from Susan?  I just lent my hand (literally) to the endeavour!

Here is how you can make this card!
