On the Stampin B's Design Team blog challenge #119, Pam aka Pam124 asked that we use lots of bling and embellies on our creations. Well, I did my best and added a lot of gemstone pearls and swirls and some flowers. Is that enough, Pam? LOL
Love my new $1 bin stamp from Michael's. My sister sent it and four others (all butterflies with sentiments) to me. They are different than I usually see in their $1 bin. They are large, wooden stamps and stamp really well.

Wow - can you have your sister pick up a set of those stamps for me too...they are beautiful. Maybe it is just how nicely they are colored ;). I love your bright summery color choices, your layout and texture and that fantastic (and just right) bling. Beautiful card, my friend!

Benz, this came out beautiful. I LOVE those colors and beautiful array of b/flies. The added flowers and pearl/gem swirls are Dee-LIGHTFUL!! You did a terrific considering your failing eyesight. I'm so glad you are using that deluxe heavy duty magnifying glass with a light!! It really shows! P.S. you are not getting the jewel on my card and that's that!
