Brat Cards (Terri) presented the Twisted Sistahs Challenge for this week. She asked us to use something that was not purchased for card making. I just went through some old jewelry and found a pair of earrings that had no stone in one of them. I snipped off the top ring and added a big rhinestone.
This is also for the Queen For The Day Challenge. This week, we are honoring Rox71. Roxie is our Sketch Challenge hostess, and what a talented card maker she is!! ALL of her cards are great. I chose to CASE the card she made exactly one year ago today. It's called "Polka Dots and Camellia". I used a different floral stamp set, embossed the background instead of stamping, and I used my broken earring and rhinestones instead of the brads. Thanks for taking a peek and congrats to Roxie!!!

Great idea to use the earring - I have lots of such singles - I keep hoping the other one will show up. Now I know where to find charms.
Your card is lovely- what a pretty flower.
