I was planning on taking it closer to your card, but kind of got a little out of control with it. But, your card is so pretty, I just had to use it for inspiration.
I love this SU set, Peace Within. I haven't used this image in the set yet b/c I was afraid of the coloring. I used a variety of copics to color this and sponged around the nestie with More Mustard and Really Rust. I popped up the whole main panel on dimensionals.
I used a fancy tag for the sentiment, lightly sponged and popped up on dimensionals with the threads reaching b/hind the panels.
I used a MS border punch for the bottom of the dsp, added some crochet lace, MFT rolled flower and MFT rolled mini roses which were diecuts. Added MS leaf punches surrounding the flowers.
Sprinkled a little dazzling diamonds among the flowers and leaves, added pearls and crystal effects to the plant stand, leaf and b/fly.
Used the SU jewel tag punch and coordinating stamp set for the little charm on the right side.
That's about it. ENJOY your week Toni!

Pamzi, girl, you should never be afraid of coloring as you obviously have that skill down! The coloring on this is awesome. In fact, the colors and coloring bring a sense of true peace to the card (oh and that sentiment too). This is one great card carrying a special message. Wish I didn't have to go to work today and I could sit in that chair and relax - oh wait, I don't have to go to work, I get to go to pre-op appts all day. Guess I will get to sit in lots of chairs though none will be comfortful! LOL! Very pretty card, love the sparkles, and that cool flower. Well done Sis!

Pam, this card is so amazingly beautiful! There are so many awesome little details that all add up to a wonderful summertime card. The soft sunny colors, the lovely dp, the perfectly punched lower edge of the striped paper, the handmade flowers, the lace, the die cut leaves and best of all, the beautifully colored image!
