This card is made with one of the Layers of Color New Release Clear Art Stamps: http://www.layersofcolor.com/blog/
called Flowering Gems. These flowers are just gorgeous to work with and are so versitile, I decided to make this card with a very vintage feel.
These stamps have been created to be used with gems if you wanted to, I have used two different colour pearls here and love the look that they give. I chose colours that I see in our hydrangers and used that as my inspiration.
The flowers are coloured with chalks using a Blender Pen, they are then layered on a mixture of dimensionals and 3D foam dots to give varying heights. I added a fan that I was sent in a RAK from my dear friend Pam (aka pam124). This whole arrangement is layered onto a doily that I saved from a tin of biscults ( it was the only non fattening thing in the whole tin! LOL!) this was then layered onto some embossed CS that has been sponged, then a strip of torn DP with the edges sponged and a strip of lace. I am partial to layering and texture on my cards...this one is no exception!
Pearls have been added to the centre of the flowers and steymans scattered through the arrangement...these are only little but sometimes it is the little things that add just the right touch!

Linda, how very pretty! Like a quilt in an upscale hotel! I think this could be framed, and it would warm one just to look at it! Beautiful! LYMI. Hugs...

Such a gorgeous vintage using that pretty fan from Pam and that non-fattening doily from the biscuit tin. Great recycling idea and you have put
your creation together so beautifully. Love this outstanding card!
