This is one of many cards I worked on this weekend. I LOVE Basic Grey's new Ambrosia paper and it matches SU's Tangerine Tango perfectly along with their Basic Gray cs. This card has a basic gray (SU) base and then some Ambrosia DP and a stip of paper from the Tangerine Tango Designer Prints paper (SU). I used Petal Prints but only for the stems and leaves of the flowers, in Mellow Moss on Watercolor Paper (SU). I LOVE the bumpy, texture of the watercolor paper. Then I made it look like a tag by punching the corners in the tag punch and reinforcing a hole. I used Rope Twine through the hole and the flowers are cream colored Prima's that I sponged the edges of with Tangerine Tango classic ink and folded in half. I used a orange colored rhinestone in the middle of each. I then tied some 5/8" ribbon (it's from my scrap jar) in a knot and stitched it on the card as I stitched the border of my DP. I stamped "I believe in Angels" (from Michael's) in Basic Gray on another piece of Watercolor paper, tore the bottom and sponged the edges in Mellow moss. I used the corner rounder (SU) and punched a hole for some lattice orange (again from my scrap jar) cloth ribbon. The word "Angels" has a halo above it so I placed 3 tiny orange rhinestones there for some extra bling. I tied some linen thread in the holes of 3 buttons colored tangerine, basic gray, and cream before placing them on the card. I also took a photo of the inside where I used a stamp quote from a very retired SU stamp, On Angel's Wings. You can check it out if you wish and it's titled Tangerine Petals - Inside. Thanks for looking!

Love how you folded the primas in half and added the dew drop! Lovely card.
