I kept my card in the same vein...sweets. I noticed Anne used a number of Lockhart stamps on other cards, so I chose a Lockhart for my image. There is some dotted paper on mine peeping out, but I changed the orientation of the card, the color scheme, image, and matting proportions. I did copy her sentiment/ribbon treatment.
There is a bright pink pearl colored with Copics to be the "special one". The glass of the gumball machine is coated with Glossy Accents...don't know if that comes through too well in my photo.

Sallie, this is so sweet and pretty! I love the gumball image---it reminded me of years ago when a co-worker kept a gumball machine in her office---and I love how you found just the right one with the pretty pink. I can see the glassy effect, too! Fabulous case!
