I used the new SU set that comes out on 5/1 called Elements of Style. The flowers were a little trickier than I thought they would be, but I think they came out okay.
I colored the flowers with markers, white gel pen and then sprinkled with some dazzling diamonds and crystal effects on the leaves. The image was cut out twice and popped up on dimensionals.
I used an ef on the mat behind the flowers, added some ribbon loops extending out to the right side, did some faux stitching and added some pearls.
The first layer, nestie mat, flowers and sentiment were popped up on dimensionals.
This was a fun sketch and I'm going to give it to one of my co-stampers at Stamp Club next week. Hope she likes it.
Thanks so much for taking the time to look and have a great week!

OK, we currently have weather headlines that read like this: "Winter is hanging on in the Prairies. Just ask residents in Alberta." "Spring Storm Blasting the Prairies" "Between heavy rain, wet snow and gusty winds, it will be a messy couple of days across the Prairies." So, your cheerful springy card makes me feel good. Love the pretty pinks and all that sparkle and shine. Great job with that new set my demo friend! The things people don�t tell you!! Glad to see plenty of punchin� goin� on! J

Wow! What a great image and what a fantabulous job you did! Beautiful colors used and I always like the sparkle you add. Weight loss, indeed! My next RAK coming your way will have a set of scales. I'll be able to read them from my house every time you step on them and we'll all know the truth about the punches and wgt. loss thing. Truly, your card is just beautiful!!!

Utterly stunning in every way, Miss Pamzi! First, those flowers are wonderful - and your cutting out is fantastic, it must have taken ages and a lot of patience! Second, I love the ribbon treatment with the loops at the side. Third, I really like the sparkle and pearls, and lastly you did a great job with your punchez! Can't wait to see your piccies of your fish and chips btw! London doesn't really do very good ones though - the best ones to be had (in my humble opinion) are up North in Yorkshire in a seaside town called Whitby (which is where Hannah gets married in summer). I wish I could send you some!!

My metabolism is speeding up just looking at this and I haven't lifted a punch yet!!! lol Beautifully done m friend. Your eye for design and texture and color is amazing. Thanks for playing along with us this week at the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge. We'll be looking for you next week when we start our Anniversary celebration. Good luck in the prize drawings.
