Their sketches are always very interesting and turn out cards that are a little beyond what you would normally do, so I enjoy it very much. There are also tons of ways to win prizes.
I decided to use my Tea Party DSP and Bloomin' Beautiful stamp set to create this card. I LOVE the En Francais b/g stamp, so I used it on behind my flower image and on the almost amethyst panel to the left. I also was dying to use my yellow pearls that Wattle just sent me for my birthday ~ Thanks Kathy ~!! The 4 flowers I used were sent to me in a RAK from Twinshappy ~ Thanks Stacy ~!
The rest was some ribbon, some bling, a sentiment and dazzling diamonds on the 3-layer flower bloom, along with yellow stickles on the bee! It killed me not to paper pierce or use an embossing folder this time, but I wanted the b/g stamp and sparkly flower to take center stage!
Thank you so much for taking the time to peek at my card and if you have a quick moment, let me know what you think!!

Hey Fruitcake, I must say this is one mighty fine card for someone with such a limited IQ. Beautiful details and how fun to use RAK goodies! Love the glitter and the patene flowers. But I see you're still using your bathmat. do you need some money to maybe upgrade to a different bg? I see you're still using your lost marbles. Do you ever give up?

Just for the record, it is not a bath mat. Wouldn't you just LOVE to know what it really is Queen Anne of Nothing???? I'll keep you guessing as I'm sure you have nothing better to do than pick on lil' ole me! Yeah, sending some $ would be helpful since I haven't gotten paid a dime yet for acting as Chief Inspector Fruitcake!! And, yes, I still have lost my marbles!!! LOL!!!

STUNNING card. Lovely colors and that is one of my favorite flowers. Just beautiful. Thanks for playing with us this week. Love your presentation on that charming fabric with those lovely jewel-like glass beads (no matter what your so-called friends say this is very attractive).

We never discussed salary. I thought this was a volunteer position since you seem to like getting your face into everyone's business like Deborah. I cant believe you. You're one of those we refer to as: All the lights are on but no one's home. Get it?

now ladies....I must admit, Pam, it does appear to look like a bathmat but that is coming from a person who has repeatedly referred to marilynprestonn as Marilyn when in fact her name is Peggy. I can no longer judge anyone...I have learned my lesson.
now on to the serious stuff.....this card is BEAUTIFUL!!! Great dp. LOVE the sparkle. great card fruitcake....I think that is sooooo cute. Annie Jo referred to mut and I as the Russian satellite sisters.... She is truly one of a kind and our friend!!! tfs.
hugs,
