Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps provided the DT of Tuesday Throwdown with stamps to use this week in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness. This set is called Everyday Miracles. You can find these stamps and many more here: http://www.sweetnsassystamps.com/
I am once again using a tutorial from Amazing Paper Grace to make my punched, bottom border. If you would like to try it, here is the link. http://www.amazingpapergrace.com/tut...border-frames/
The layer on top of that is a Martha Stewart punch around the page called Eyelet Lace. Next is a doily I sponged with light pink ink. The sentiment circle is a Spellbinders nestabilitie and the pearls are from Recollections. The butterflies are colored with Copics.
My card will fit Lori's challenge to Bling Your Cling in the Hope You Can Cling To forum. My bling is pearls instead of rhinestones...but they are pink.

That is so pretty Benz. How soft and feminine this elegant card is. I love seeing the layered die cuts and punches. The little pearl accents are so cute. Another beautiful piece of work that looks amazing.

Wow Benzi, this is sure a pretty little thing. All those lacy layers, frills, pearls, and 'flies combine to make a wonderful card. What a cool sentiment too! I am not even going to that tutorial after what Jo said!
