I am not a fan of using pins on cards. They look perfectly lovely on other people's creations, but I just worry about harming the recipient somehow with the pointy end of the pin. HOwever, this was a challenge at Mark's Finest Papers that I had to do, so I used a leaf pin from their collection.
I like the cool blues and greens that I chose to accompany that pin. It was my starting point for everything on that card. And I do like how it looks....I just had to take the pin out before mailing this!

CURE: Send it to someone you don't like so it doesn't matter if they get pinched or not. Gosh, am I evil or what. I happen to love pins. I just can't seem to figure out how to get them incorporated. Darn, I need to grow up and do it!!! Beautiful!

Your pin looks fabulous on this gorgeous card. All you have to do is go to Micheal's and go to the jewelry section and get you some tiny beads that will fit on the end of your pin and glue them. That way no one gets hurt!!! lol Not even someone you don't like...referring to the comment above me...haha Beautiful work Colleen.
