I've been wanting to use my Green Tea DSP again for awhile, so decided this was the card I would do it with. There was kind of a lot to the design this time (which I like because it pushes me into places I probably would never go otherwise#, so it took me a little longer to get it where I wanted it. I hope it's not too busy and that I didn't go too overboard, but every once in awhile, I guess you just have to go "overboard" a little!! I must have caught Wattle #Kathy Jones# fever again because I just couldn't seem to get enough pearls!!!
Oh, and, finally, the perfect card for the FANTASTIC pearl ribbon sliders Lovely Linda sent me. Good thing she sent me quite a few or I'd still be hoarding them. I LOVE those pearl sliders. Thanks so much Linda!!! Check out Linda's fabulous vintage gallery if you have a chance. She's doing such a great job! Here's Lovely Linda's link:
That about wraps it up, except to add taht I added some stickles around the flowers and butterfly edges, some vintage buttons, pearls, ribbon, ef, etc. Whew, I did go overboard.
Thanks for looking and if you have a chance, let me know what you think!! Have a great 4th of July weekend!!!

Well look at you go today, Missy Pam! And look at all those pearls. Girl, this is one very special card, I can assure you. So much detail and precise cutting, along with all those pearls. So striking and so you!

Pam this is a lovely card. Love all the details and that paper is lovely. Nice colors and of course one of my favorite images. Hope this lovely cards decides to stick around!! I understand that you have to name each card something different on you computer. I have all of my gallery on my computer and when I put the picture in that file I have to name it something different then the previous one SCS (123) SCS (124) etc. So maybe that is what has saved me. Don't know. Thank you so very much for your continued support in the MMSC. We look forward to many more of your lovely creations in the weeks to come.

Pam, what you call going overboard is what I call making it beautiful. Love those ribbon sliders Linda sent you and those pearls centering the flower. Great dp and another winner card from you!!!
