I almost always have a card in mind, or at least some idea, of a card I want to make when I order a new stampset. Usually the card I end up making doesn't even resemble my original idea. Oddly, this one did! It was just simple enough to not have much variation from the idea. I stamped the tree and sentiment from the Thoughts and Prayers set, and glued on little cupped sequence flowers from Cartwright's Sequins to the tree (BTW, their ribbon, sequins and glitter are awesome, check it out!!). And that was it, all done (except for embossing a quick square around the border to frame it).
So simple, yet so elegant. The addition of the sequins really adds an element of class to this touching message....
Very creative and impressive!
Thanks so much for sharing this sequin resource (I googled them) and for sharing the idea!
