Hello and thank you for viewing my card. This card was made using Basic Grey's "Gyspy" collection dp and Hero Arts Cupcake Clear Stamp Set.
The main stamped image was stamped on PaperTrey White Cardstock with Adirondack Pitch Black ink and colored with Prismacolor Pencils and Mineral Spirits. I added some Diamond Glaze to the cupcake frosting for added interest and popped up the flower on top with Dimensionals. The image was punched with a Marvy Round 2" Punch and 2 mats were made with a Marvy Giga Scalloped Round PUnch and a Marvy Mega Regular Round Punch. I freehand paper pierced around all 3 circular mats, popping up the top and bottom mats with Dimensionals. The pink middle border strip was paper pierced with SU! Mat Pack and a piercing tool. The sentiment was stamped on PaperTrey White Cardstock and heavily sponged around the center with SU! Pretty in Pink ink and around the edge with SU! Green Galore ink, then I freehand paper pierced around the edge. I punched the left hand side of the sentiment with a corner punch on top and bottom.
I finished off the card with a gold eyelet securing the sentiment and anchoring that with a pink and green jewelry twine. For added interest, I embellished with 2 jeweled rhinestone pastel brads.

So, jewelry twine, that's what that is! Hi Linda, this is as cute as can be, and my favorite color combo ever! You did a wonderful job with all your detailed coloring and piercing, it is just adorable!
