I needed a card for a friend named Fran (she's a friend of my friend but has become my friend too) as she's undergone surgery and radiation treatment for a 2nd bout of cancer. Things look like they're getting in the clear, but I wanted her to know I was still thinking about her. She opens up her pool to my friend and I and our special needs children every summer and it's so nice, quiet and relaxing for all of us!!
I decided to go with some Certainly Celery DSP I had and pair it with white and black. I used Crystal Effects on the pot and leaves, but you can't see in the photo. I stickled flowers and placed rhinestones in the centers. The rest were MS hydrangea punched flowers with mini pearl centers and a cute flower ribbon I found that I lined with black pearls. I had this little dragonfly charm I've been dying to use and although it's probably a little large scale for the image, I added it anyway for a little something extra! I paper pierced the image panel and the first panel also.
Think that's it. Hope you like it. If you have a moment, let me know what you think!! Thanks!!

A new Pam card! What a wonderful card to show your support for your friend... Love the colours and I must say, you are forcing my hand with the hydrangea punch issue! Love the piercing, punching, pearls and pretty paper (remember, the 'Pam Formula for Pretty Cards'...!
