Wow, I had a hard time picking a card to case from Nikki's gallery. There were so many gorgeous creations to choose from. I love Nikki's work. Plus she is such a sweet fellow blogger. Blowing us kisses everytime we visit her blog!
For today's challenge I picked this beautiful card. I kept the layout, the blue and Verve stamps.
I changed the stamp set, added pearls and changed the embellishments a bit.
I LOVE the paper I used, Love Kaisercraft pearls, May Arts ribbon, Spellbinders dies and the colors....it's definitely a cards of favorites for me. Plus I sanded, sponged and sewed this card....seems like I HAVE to do on everyone of my cards.
Thanks so much for looking! Have a wonderful Sunday afternoon!
Hugs and smiles

Beate, this is so beautiful. I love that pattern of that 4 petal (4 little oval little images) throughout. And I love how you did that ribbon flower. Your cards are always so exquisite. Thanks for sharing. Blessings, Lela

I LOVE this card! That satin flower is gorgeous and I love what you did with the ribbon under the flower! I love the stitching around the edge, too! I guess what I'm trying to say is I love everything! Beautiful card!
