Would you believe this card started off with a pink flamingo on it...it is just one of those 'progressive' cards and I had no idea it would finish up like this!
I have used white card stock (and only whiite) which fits the 'Ways to Use it' Challenge, the fact that this is the second card that has been made with that card stock fits with the 'Our Creative Corner' Challenge in which we are to use recycling and the colours, which are the same as in our lounge room (we have Jodphur, Clay Bake and white trims) qualifies it for the Limited Supplies' Challenge!
Once I had removedthe DP's etc from the previous card, I ran the white CS through the CB using an EF that Lesley (aka Marleygo) sent me back at the beginning of the year - this is the first time I have used it!!! (Thanks Lesley!) I then used Distressing Ink to sponge the edges and highlight some of the words randomly! I added a white flower and sponged the tips of the petals, layering 2 more flowers, sponging the smallest one and added a pink brad. The sentiment was sponged, added the row of pearls (aren't they great...a Kaiser product and they come in rows...you just have to cut and stick - laughing!!) then 3Ded the sentiment onto the CS and the edge of the flower,
I have to say, this is one of the easiest cards to make...the sponging has made all the difference - what do you think? I would love to hear!
Thank you for looking and for your lovely comments!!

Linda, what a fabulous and creative job you have done with this card. I love what you did with the embossing (sponging) and adding the flowers and embellishments - awesome!!!! TFS!

What a terrific job on this one, GF!!! Great idea to highlight certain words on the bg! I never think of things like that! Way to go!
