Have you ever had a day in the craft room where you think you have pulled out every tool and stamp set you own and still are not satisfied? Well, that was me today. I kept knocking things over, spilling things,losing things! Ugh. Well like it or not here is my card. This should have taken me about 15 minutes. But as many color combos,times I cut different embossed papers etc. we won`t even go there. I used markers direct to stamp and spritzed water stamping on watercolor paper. I added pearls to the flowers. The grass on the envelope I wanted to make a bit uneven as far as coverage so used markers rather than a stamp pad. I did use K & Co. yummy embossed paper for the cut panels. And here it is. And my mess is unreal. So I will return later to leave comments. I do not know why I have such a time with these wonderful sketches! But there you go. Thanks for taking a peek if you are still with me! Hope you are having a better day than I am! :-)

Lol! I am so laughing here, and wondering if you know that we all do this! My stamp room always looks like a yard sale gone wrong! Whatever the cost, it was worth every bit of your time! I love this stamp set, and your pearls are striking! Beautiful work! Thanks for sharing (and don't clean too good, k?) Lol!
