I made another card using the SU Abundant Hope stamp set. It's based on a card I did while at a stamp class, but I changed some of it.
I went with a certainly celery and barely banana color combo.
Used markers to color in the flower using a lighter and darker color yello, then sprinkled it with a little dazzling diamonds. Used certainly celery marker for the leaves/stems. Paper pierced around the image square and sponged with barely banana.
Layered the image using dimensionals and framed it using the SU Scallop Trim around the page border/corner punches. Popped up the framing on dimensionals.
The main certainly celery layer was embossed with stylized flowers and I used the same SU Scallop Trim border punch at the bottom.
Added a Sentiment to the SU modern label punch and a gold bow was adhered with a dimensional.
That's about it. I decided not to add any bling or pearls, although I REALLY wanted to, as I've been working on making "easier to mail" cards as of late. But, I still usually just can't resist the bling!!
Thanks SO MUCH for looking and have a great weekend!

Pamalina, let me see if can find anything wrong with this card. Nope, looks awesome. Why do I have to search and search for imperfections on your cards and never find any? LOL Love your daffodils. Mine are about to bloom..hallelujah, Spring is coming! Pretty ribbon, punch, and I love the Certainly Celery. Hey, you know how to make your cards look good with or without lots of bling. Have a good weekend, friend.

I'm baaaack!!!! And you've been busy... I don't have time now to go back through your gallery and see your creations, but this is certainly a beauty to greet me on my return home! I am loving the fact that it feels like spring here - after basking in wonderful weather for nearly 3 weeks it's great to come home to springy weather rather than winter. Your card is a perfect spring/Easter creation - so cheery. And you've used your punches very well, but boy oh boy, Benzi sure is putting her punches to use. I see she is the new self-appointed President of the VIP Punch Pals - go away for a while and look out, eh! I see you still haven't found the thread for your sewing machine yet. Great card Pam! I love it!

Another beautiful Spring/Easter card. I'm loving all your daffodil creations. I love daffodils, but come to think of it I don't even know if I have a daffodil stamp. :( I love your use of the SU punch too. I just got my corner one so now I can do one of these frames too. Thanks for your inspiration.

Another beautiful card with your daffodil image - just gorgeous, Pam! You are doing so well with your bling addiction programme - I'm proud of you! I think I've used more bling in the last week than you!! (Ha, you know how much I love your pearls and gems really! You are the SCS Queen of them!)

...another beauty, Pam....love the colour combo and I like the way you did the border just at the bottom on the second layer. I've never seen that punch....very pretty. TFS.

...sure it�s got a catchy beat, but can you stamp to it?
