Layer Staping with Stampin' Up!'s Sweet Cupcake Stamp Set

Hi everyone!  I have a super simple but fun card to share with you today using Stampin' Up!'s Sweet Cupcake stamp set.  This set uses layer stamping to create a dimensional cupcake with dimensional icing and cake.  I used all Stampin' Up! products to create this card.  Here's my video tutorial on how I made this card:
Part One:




Part Two:




And here are a couple pictures of the card:

To create this card, I stamped the icing with Blushing Bride, Flirty Flamingo, and Melon Mambo ink from Stampin' Up!  The cake was stamped with Crumb Cake, Soft Suede and Early Espresso.  I used a confetti stamp from the stamp set and inked it with Chocolate Chip ink and stamped it onto Crumb Cake cardstock to create my background.  I cut a square out with the stitched shapes dies and  then put my card together, using dimensionals for some added pop.  I used white embossing powder to emboss the sentiment.  Finally, I added some enamel dots and rhinestones.  If you are interested in any of the products I used today, please visit my Stampin' Up! store here.  What do you think?


Well, that's it from me today.  Thanks so much as always for stopping by.  Huge hugs!

Two Step Stampin with Stampin' Up!'s Cool Treats Stamp Set

Hi everyone!  I'm super late with this post today, YouTube took forever to download my video tutorial :)  Today I'm sharing three card samples using Stampin' Up!'s Cool Treats and Swirly Bird stamp sets and coordinating dies.  The Cool Treats set is a layering, or "two step" stamping set and I will demonstrate this technique for you in my video tutorial.  Here are all my card samples together:

For all cards, I used the same color scheme: Peekaboo Peach, Flirty Flamingo, and Whisper White (thick Whisper White for the card bases).  I also used the SU stitched circle, oval, and square dies.  Here's a close up of my first card (I did a video tutorial on this card as well).

Here is a link to my video tutorial:





Here's a close up of my second card:

And finally, my third card:

You're Just My Style

Hi everyone and Happy Wednesday! I hope you are all having a wonderful week. We're halfway through the work week already, I just love three day weekends! :) I have a quick post for you today, I have a busy day at work and must get to it :)




For my card today, I decided to ink up this adorable image available exclusively at Susana's Custom Art and Card Design. This image was illustrated by the fabulous Elisabeth Bell. This image is called All Grown Up and I think she is absolutely adorable. She reminds me of myself when I was little, I was always putting on my mom's high heels and pearls. :) I colored the image with copics (pinks: R81, R83, R85; black: W6, W8; skin: E00, E01, E11, RV21; hair: E33, E35, E37) and added some Stardust Stickles to her hair bows and to her purse. Next I created my card base out of SU cardstock (Basic Black and Rose Red). The design paper is by Amanda Blu. I used my SU ticket corner punch on the corners and added pearls. I also added pearls to her necklace. The sentiment is from a Gina K set called Retro Boutique. For some finishing touches I added a ribbon, bow (tied with my Bow Easy), a purse charm, primas, and roses from Wild Orchid Crafts. What do you think?

Well, that's it from me today. Thank you all so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day! :)

Dream Come True

Happy Saturday everyone! :) I hope you are having a wonderful weekend. I am embarrassed to say how long this card took me to do! :) I've been working on it for quite some time today and when I went to take the picture, it was already dark outside so I hope you can see the card okay. I stamped my new princess and frog stamp from High Hopes Rubber Stamps onto Georgia Pacific cardstock with Memento black ink and colored the image in with copics. I added Gold Stickles to the crowns they are both wearing. I used my rectangle nestabilities to cut out the image and the scalloped rectangles. All cardstock is from SU (Rose Red and Always Artichoke). My card base measures 5 1/4 by 5 1/4. The design paper is from DCWV's Once Upon a Time stack (I LOVE this paper, I finally made myself use it today, I've been staring at it for months afraid to cut it LOL :) ).

I used my circle nesties to cut out the circle and then I stamped the sentiment (from Verve) onto the circle using Versamagic Perfect Plumeria ink. The sentiment is hard to see in the picture because of the bad lighting, but it says "You're a Dream Come True." I added Primas and a pearl for a finishing touch. On the inside of the card, I inked up the sentiment (also from High Hopes) with Versamagic Perfect Plumeria ink and stamped it onto Georgia Pacific cardstock. I used a Fiskars corner punch for the corners. The frog is also from High Hopes. I colored him in with copics as well.

I would love to hear what you think. Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful weekend and I'll be back tomorrow with more! :)

Hugs, Christine :)

Millie's Reindeer

Good morning everyone and TGIF! :) I have a quick post for you today. My card today uses my new Millie on Reindeer stamp from Spiral Whisper (I love this company, they have the cutest images!) I inked the image with Memento black ink and stamped it onto Georgia Pacific cardstock. I colored it with my copics and used a white gel pen for accents. I then inked around the image using purple ink from Memories Direct. I used all SU cardstock (Elegant Eggplant and So Saffron) and my designer paper is from DCWV's glitter Christmas stack. I sued SU's ticket corner punch on the corners and placed purple rhinestones in each corner. I placed small Primas around the image and placed yellow and purple rhinestones in the centers. The sentiment is from Whiff of Joy. I inked it with purple ink from Memories Direct and stamped it onto So Saffron cardstock. I then punched it out using SU's Word Window punch. For some finishing touches, I added ribbon (from Michael's) and large Primas with a glittery Making Memories brad. It's a pretty simple card, but I'm pleased with how it turned out.

I would love to hear what you think. Thanks so much for stopping by. More tomorrow.

Hugs, Christine :)

First Kiss

Good morning everyone and happy Wednesday. It's another dreary looking day here, but at least it's not raining . . . yet.

My card today is my submission for the Sarah Kay Challenge Blog, found here: http://sarahkaychallenges.blogspot.com/ (or you can click on the icon on the right of my blog). This week's challenge was a sketch challenge.

I stamped the main image with Memento black ink onto Georgia Pacific cardstock and colored it in with my copics. I mounted the image onto SU's Regal Rose followed by Brocade Blue followed by Rose Red. Next, I created my card base, which measures 5 1/2 by 5 1/2, out of SU's Rose Red and layered on top of that Brocade Blue followed by Regal Rose, followed by designer paper from DCWV Nana's Nursery baby boy. I then adhered a strip of Rose Red followed by designer paper from DCWV Nana's Nursery baby girl (which I ran through my Martha Stewart Doily Lace border punch). I then adhered my image panel onto the card base using dimensionals. For a finishing touch, I added primas and a MS pearl to the bottom left corner.

Thanks so much for stopping by. I'd love to hear what you think. More tomorrow :)

Merci!

Happy Monday morning everyone,

This promises to be another crazy week at work so before the madness begins, I thought I'd post another card :)

My card today is my submission for the Friday Sketchers blog challenge. You can see the sketch, as well as the other submissions, here: http://fridaysketchersblog.blogspot.com/.

I stamped this adorable Tilda, which I purchased from Diana Crick of Scor-Pal, onto Georgia Pacific cardstock and colored her in with my copics. I added Diamond Stickles to her wing. I then cut her out. I created my card base, which measures 5 1/2 by 5 1/2, out of SU's Regal Rose. I then layered on top of that SU's Close to Cocoa followed by designer paper from Provo Crafts Slab IX, which I got at Michael's. I created my circles and scallops from my nestabilities. I ran the circles through the cuttlebug using an embossing folder (I think it's called swirls, or something like that). I placed the ribbon, which I got from Michael's, on the card base, and then adhered the scalloped circles with dimensionals and then adhered Tilda with dimensionals. The sentiment is from a very old SU set called Paris in the Spring. I stamped it with SU's Chocolate Chip ink. I adhered the sentiment panel with dimensionals as well. For some finishing touches, I added primas, Making Memories brads, and pearls from Martha Stewart.

I'd love to hear what you think. Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a great day. More tomorrow :)

Happy Birthday Friend

Happy Sunday everyone,

My card today is my submission for the Cute Card Thurday challenge blog, located at http://cutecardthursday.blogspot.com/ (or you can just click the icon on the right-hand side of my blog). Our challenge today was to use lots of pink on our card (as you can see from my previous posts, this was not difficult for me . . . pink is my favorite color :) ).

I stamped this cute hedgehog and mouse image from Penny Black onto Georgia Pacific cardstock and colored it in with my copic markers. It's a little difficult to see in the picture, but I used liquid applique (pink color) on the icing on the cake. I cut a circle and the two scallops with my nestabilities using SU's Blush Blossom and Pretty in Pink. I wanted to create a 3-D circle frame around my image so I adhered the image and scallops to the card base using dimensionals. I'm not sure if I achieved what I was going for, but it didn't turn out too bad :)

My card base measures 5 1/2 by 5 1/2 and is SU's Blush Blossom, folled by Pretty in Pink, followed by DP from DCWV Nana's Nursery (baby girl). I used SU's ticket corner punch on the corners and placed pink rhinestones from Michel's in the corners. I stamped the sentiment, which is a Studio G $1 stamp from Michael's, onto Blush Blossom and layered that onto Pretty in Pink. I again used the ticket corner punch and placed rhinestones in the corners.

For some finishing touches, I placed a pink ribbon from Michael's onto the bottom of the frame and placed primas and a Making Memories on the bottom left corner of the card.

I'd love to hear what you think. Thanks so much for stopping by. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Christine :)

How Sweet

Good evening everyone,

My card for today is serving double duty :) I decided to participate in the House Mouse & Friends Challenge again this week. For this week's challenge, we had to create our card based on a sketch. You can see the sketch and the other submissions here: http://housemouse-challenge.blogspot.com/ or just click on the icon on the right hand side of my blog. As I was making my card, I decided to cut up a piece of K&Co. designer paper I've been saving for a long time and use it on the card. When I was on Splitcoast today, I noticed that the Way to Use it Challenge was to use specialty paper we have been saving. I have been saving this K&Co. paper for so long so I figured that this card fit in to the Way to Use it Challenge as well.

I first stamped the house mouse image onto Georgia Pacific cardstock and then colored it in with my copic markers. I added glitter to the sugar cubes using a Sakura glitter pen. Next, I created my card base out of SU's Certainly Celery cardstock (it measurs 5 1/2 by 5 1/2). I then layered my K&Co. designer paper on top of that followed by a small piece of SU's Pretty in Pink. I then layered my house mouse image onto Certainly Celery and adhered it to my card base using dimensionals. I placed pearls in all the corners and placed pink dew drops from Michael's on the Pretty in Pink cardstock. I stamped the sentiment, which is a $1 Studio G stamp from Michael's, onto Certainly Celery and mounted that onto Pretty in Pink. I then adhered the sentiment to the card base using dimensionals. Fianlly, I placed primas in the upper right hand corner.

I'd love to hear what you think. Thanks so much for stopping by.

Happiest of Days

Good evening everyone,

I decided to participate in the card sketch challenge over on Splitcoast today (SC192). I love Wednesdays because I love these sketch challenges :)

For my card today, I stamped Tilda holding lilacs onto Georgia Pacific cardstock, colored her with my copics, and cut her out. I did the same thing with the stone wall, also from Magnolia stamps (if you are interested in purchasing these adorable Magnolia stamps, you can order them by contacting Diana Crick, from Scor-Pal, at magnolia.us@shaw.ca).

Next, I created my card base, which measures 5 1/2 by 5 1/2, from SU's Perfect Plum cardstock. I layred on top of that SU's Sage Shadow followed by designer paper from DCWV Nana's Nursery stack (baby boy). I then adhered my stone wall to SU's Sage Shadow with dimensionals and then adhered that to Perfect Plum with dimensionals. I then adhered the whole panel onto the card base with dimensionals. I then adhered Tilda to the wall with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment, which is from Verve Stamps, onto Sage Shadow and mounted it onto Perfect Plum. I used SU's ticket corner punch for the corners. I then adhered the sentiment with dimensionals. For finishing touches, I used Diamond Stickles for Tilda's wings and the heart on her pants. I used a Sakura glitter pen to add some glitter to the lilacs. Finally, I placed Primas and a Martha Stewart pearl onto the top left hand corner of the card.

I hope you enjoy. I'd love to hear what you think. Thanks so much for stopping by.

Journey

Good evening everyone,

I just can't get enough of these Magnolia stamps, I LOVE them! :) I decided to enter the Tilda and Co. challenge with my card today. You can view the challenge, as well as other submissions, at http://magnoliachallengeblog.blogspot.com/, or just click on the icon on the right hand side of my blog. Our challenge this week was to use some sort of embossing on our card.

For my card, I stamped Tilda, Edwin, the luggage, and the bench, all from Magnolia stamps, onto Georgia Pacific cardstock, colored them all with my copics, and cut them out. It's hard to see in the pictures, but I added Diamond Stickles to the flowers on Tilda's hat and onto Edwin's wings.

Next, I created my card base, which measures 5 1/2 by 5 1/2, out of SU's Pale Plum cardstock. I then layered onto that Sahara Sand followed by Bashful Blue. I then layered on top of that my designer paper, which is from DCWV Travel Stack. I then created my panel for my main image, which consists of Pale Plum mountd on Sahara Sand, mounted on Bashful Blue. All pieces were run through the cuttlebug using the Swiss Dots embossing folder. I adhered each piece to the card base using dimensionals. I then adhered the bench and Tilda using dimensionals, and then seated Edwin on top of the luggage using dimensionals. I stamped my sentiment (which came from a cheap clear set I got at Michael's . . . the name escapes me at the moment) onto Pale Plum and then tied it onto the card with a ribbon I picked up in Michael's dollar bin. I then added primas and a Martha Stewart pearl for a finishing touch.

I would love to hear what you think. Thanks so much for stopping by.

Believe in Fairy Tales

Good evening everyone,

I'm so sorry for the late post, the day got away from me :) For my card today, I decided to enter the Friday Sketcher Challenge over on the Friday Sketcher Challenge Blog (you can view the sketch and other entries at http://fridaysketchersblog.blogspot.com/). This week's sketch was designed by Claudia Rosa, who is one of the most talented stampers I've ever seen!

For my card today, I stamped my new Reading Tilda with Memento black ink onto Georgia Pacific cardstock, colored her with my copics, and cut her out. I then created my card base, which measures 5x7, out of SU's Pretty in Pink and then layered on top of that SU's Certainly Celery followed by SU's Close to Cocoa, followed by my designer paper from DCWV Nana's Nursery stack (baby girl). I used my Creative Memories corner rounder punch on all the layers. I adhered a ribbon I found at Michael's and then created my scallops and circle out of my nestabilities. I adhered the circle and scallops to the card base using dimensionals. I then adhered Tilda using dimensionals.

The sentiment is by Verve stamps. I chose this sentiment because when I saw this Tilda stamp, I was reminded of reading as a child and what a great impact reading had on me. I always loved to read fairy tales and even to this day, I often settle down with one of my favorite children's books for a good read. I stamped the sentiment onto Certainly Celery and layered that onto Pretty in Pink. I then adhered the sentiment with dimensionals.

For finishing touches, I placed Glossy Accents on Tilda's glasses and Diamond Stickles on her wings. I placed pearls from Michael's on the corners of the card base, and placed primas, centered with a Martha Stewart pearl, in the upper left corner.

I would love to hear what you think. Thanks so much for stopping by.

Cherry Tilda

Happy Saturday everyone,

I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend. Hubby and I got back from a lovely visit with his family. It was a great trip and we had a really fun time, but we're beat. Hopefully we'll get to rest some this evening.

For my card today, I inked up my new Cherry Tilda stamp I received in the mail last week from Diana Crick (you can order them by contacting her at magnolia.us@shaw.ca). I inked the image up with Memento black ink and stamped it onto Georgia Pacific cardstock. I then colored the image with my copics and then cut it out. Next, I created my card base (which measures 5 1/2 by 5 1/2) from SU's Certainly Celery and then layered on top of that SU's Pretty in Pink. I then layered on top of that the cherry designer paper from DCWV's Nana's Nursery stack (baby girl). Next, I created my cirlces and scallops from my nestabilities. I then adhered the nesties to my card base using dimensionals. I then adhered Tilda using dimensionals. I next stamped the greeting, which is a Studio G $1 stamp, onto SU's Pretty in Pink and then layered that onto Certainly Celery. I then attached that to the card base using dimensionals. Finally, for a finishing touch, I added Primas and a Making Memories brad to the bottom left corner.

I would love to hear what you think. Thanks so much for stopping by.

Farmer Tilda

Good morning everyone,

My card today is my submission for the card sketch challenge over on Splitcoast (SC191). I got my new Farmer Tilda in the mail yesterday from Diana Crick from ScorPal (if you are interested in purchasing these cute stamps, e-mail Diana at magnolia.us@shaw.ca).

I decided to create another scene with Tilda's horse. I stamped the horse with Memento black ink onto Georgia Pacific cardstock and colored it in with my copic markers. I then colored the sky in with copics as well. Next, I stamped Tilda (with Memento ink) onto GP cardstock and colored her in with copics, then cut her out. I did the same with the hay and the fence. I then created my card base (which measures 5x7) out of SU's Real Red cardstock. I then layered on top of that SU's Brilliant Blue cardstock and designer paper from DCWV Nana's Nursery Stack (baby boy). It's hard to see because my top panel ended up being so big, but I used my threading water punch from Fiskars on the designer paper to create a scallop.

Next, I layered my horse image onto SU's Brilliant Blue followed by SU's Real Red. I then adhered the fence in front of the horse using dimensionals. I then placed the hay in front of the fence using dimensioanls and then placed Tilda on the hay using dimensionals.

For some finishing touches, I added diamond Stickles to Tilda's wings and placed primas in the top left corner (the pearl in the center is from Martha Stewart).

I'd love to hear what you think. Thanks so much for stopping by.

House Mouse Love Confetti

Happy Wednesday everyone :)

For my card today, I decided to enter the challenge over on the House Mouse & Friends weekly challenge blog. I just love these little House Mouse images and was so excited to learn of these weekly challenges. To participate, or to view the submissions, go here: http://housemouse-challenge.blogspot.com/, or click on the icon on the right of my blog. This week's challenge was to use lace on our card.

For my card today, I stamped my House Mouse image onto Georgia Pacific cardstock and colored it in with my copics. I put diamond Stickles on the hearts. I then used a Fiskars corner punch to get the hearts in the corners of the House Mouse image. I then created my card base, which measures 5 1/2 by 5 1/2, out of SU's Regal Rose cardstock (my last sheet of this, my favorite SU paper! I placed another order this morning :) ). I then layered on top of the card base SU's Close to Cocoa. I then used Fiskar's Threading Water punch on my designer paper from Basic Grey's Sugared collection. I placed my lacy ribbon from K&Co's Smitten collection around my card base, and then mounted my designer paper onto my card base.

I then mounted my House Mouse image onto SU's Regal Rose, followed by SU's Close to Cocoa and then mounted it onto my card base with dimensionals. I then stamped the sentiment, which is a $1 Studio G stamp, onto GP cardstock and punched it out with SU's 1 3/8 circle punch. I then used SU's scalloped circle punch and punched out the scalloped circle from SU's Regal Rose and Close to Cocoa and then placed the sentiment on my card base using dimensionals. For a finishing touch, I added primas, centered with a pearl, in the top left corner of my card.

I would love to hear what you think. Thanks so much for stopping by.

Tilda on Country Bench

Happy Tuesday everyone! :)

I just can't get enough of these adorable Magnolia stamps. If you are interested in purchasing any of these stamps, we finally have a US retailer. Contact Diana Crick of Scor-Pal directly for ordering info at magnolia.us@shaw.ca. Also, please join us at the Magnolia-licious Yahoo group, there is a ton of talent over there.

For my card today, I decided to ink up my new sideways facing Tilda. I inked her with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and stamped her onto Georgia Pacific cardstock. I then colored her with my copic markers and cut her out. I then inked the old country bench (also from Magnolia stamps) with Memento ink, and stamped it onto GP cardstock. I colored it with my copics and cut it out as well. I then created my card base (which measures 5 1/2 x 5 1/2) out of SU's Pretty in Pink cardstock. I then layered on top of that SU's Bashful Blue followed by Certainly Celery. I then layered my designer paper from Die Cuts With a View's Nana's Nursery stack (baby girl). I then placed a piece of Pretty in Pink cardstock through the Cuttlebug using the Swiss Dots embossing folder. I then layered the old bench on top of that with dimensionals, then placed Tilda on the bench using dimensionals. I then layered that onto SU's Bashful Blue using dimensionals, then layered that onto Certainly Celery.

For some finishing touches, the ribbon is from Michael's dollar bin. The primas are also from Michael's and I placed a glittery pink brad in the center from Making Memories.

I would love to hear what you think. Thanks so much for stopping by. More tomorrow.

Ooh La La!

Hello everyone,

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. For my card today, I inked up one of my favorite Magnolia stamps, Paris Tilda. I inked her up with Memento Black ink and stamped her onto Georgia Pacific cardstock. I then colored her in with my copic markers. I then mounted the Tilda image onto SU's Rose Red cardstock followed by Basic Black. I used SU's ticket corner punch on the corners and placed pearls from Michael's in the corner. Next, I stamped the Eiffel Tower from SU's retired Summer in Paris set and cut it out with my nestabilities. I then cut out scalloped circles using my nesties from SU's Rose Red and Basic Black cardstock. I then inked around the edge of the Eiffel Tower image with SU's Rose Red ink. I then stamped the sentiment, also from SU's Summer in Paris set, with SU's Rose Red ink and cut it out with my nesties. I then cut scalloped circles out of SU's Rose Red and Basic Black cardstock. I also inked the edges of the sentiment with SU's Rose Red ink.

Next, I created my card base (which measures 5x5) out of SU's Basic Black cardstock. I then layered on top of that SU's Rose Red, followed by Basic Black, followed by Rose Red, followed by my designer paper, which is Paper Slab XI by Provo Craft (I got it at Michael's). I then mounted my Eiffel Tower image with dimensionals, as well as my sentiment. I then mounted the Tilda image with dimensionals. For a finishing touch, I placed primas in the two corners and placed pearls in the centers.

I'd love to hear what you think. Thanks so much for stopping by. More tomorrow :)

Tilda: Just thinking of You

Good evening everyone,

A double post for me today . . . I've been busy :) I did this card for the card sketch challenge over on Splitcoast (SC190). I created my card base, which measures 5 1/2 by 5 1/2, out of SU's Sage Shadow. I layerd on top of that SU's Lavender Lace. I then layered on top of that two separate sheets of DCWV's Nana's Nursery designer paper (baby boy) cut in triangles. I then stamped Tilda with Memento ink onto Georgia Pacific cardstock and colored her in with my copic markers. I then cut her out. Next, I cut a circle with my Nestabilities and then ran it through the cuttlebug using an embossing folder. I then used nestabilities to cut a scalloped circle out of SU's Sage Shadow and Lavender Lace. I then adhered the scallops with dimensionals onto the card base. I then adhered Tilda on top with dimensionals. Next, I cut a small circle and scallop out using nestabilities and stamped my sentiment (which is from Studio G) and then mounted with dimensionals. Finally, I added primas (the top prima is lavender, it looks pink in the picture for some reason) and a making memories brad to the top left corner of the card and then added diamond stickles to Tilda's wings.

I'd love to hear what you think. Thanks so much for stopping by. More tomorrow.

Thinking of You

Good evening everyone,

I hope everyone is having a great day. I made my card today for a colleague of mine at work who is leaving our office. She will be greatly missed. I hope she liked the card :)

I started by stamping my new Tilda stamp in Memento Black ink and stamping her onto Georgia Pacific (GP) cardstock. I colored her in with my copic markers and then cut her out. I then stamped the bench (also from Magnolia stamps) onto GP cardstock and colored it with copics. I then used my nestabilities to cut the bench out into a circle. I then used copics to create a sky and also a pond of water under Tilda's feet. I also used my nestabilities to cut out the two scalloped circles, one in SU's Sage Shadow, the other in Pretty in Pink. I then created my card base (which measures 5 1/2 x 5 1/2) out of SU's Bashful Blue. I then layed onto the base SU's Pretty in Pink followed by SU's Sage Shadow, followed by designer paper from DCWV (Die Cuts With a View) Nana's Nursery stack (baby girl). I then mounted the Pretty in Pink scalloped circle using dimensionals onto the card base, followed by the Sage Shadow scalloped circle. I then mounted the circle with the stamped bench onto the Sage Shadow scalloped circle using dimensionals. I then mounted Tilda onto the bench using dimensionals.

Next, I stamped my sentiment (which is a $1 Studio G stamp from Michael's) onto GP cardstock. I colored in the flowers on the sentiment with SU's Pretty in Pink marker. I used SU's ticket corner punch on the corners of the sentiment. I then mounted the sentiment onto SU's Sage Shadow and again used the ticket corner punch on the corners. I then mounted that onto SU's Pretty in Pink and placed pearls (from Michael's) in the corners.

Finally, I placed Prima flowers on the bottom left of the card and placed a pearl in the center. Going back through my posts, it appears as though I cannot make a Magnolia card without primas and some shade of the color pink :) I guess it's no secret that pink is my favorite color :)

I hope you enjoy the card. I'd love to hear what you think. Thanks so much for stopping by. More tomorrow.

Christine :)
