I really love the SU Twitterpated DSP and matching buttons. I decided to use this fun pattern and colors for an Easter card. I probably should have steered clear of the Island Indigo as it is a deeper blue, which isn't really springy, but it made such a nice pop off the pink that I went with it.
The stamp is from the $1 bin at Michael's which I stamped onto my beaded circle nestie. I sponged the beaded areas and added bling on every other circular sponged area. Popped up the whole panel on dimensionals.
I used the smallest circle bead diecut for three circles on the side to which I matted with a circle punch and topped with matching buttons tied with pink floss.
I used a border punch down the left side and added some more bling. Last, but not least, I added my double loop bow and placed a small rose and leaves in the center. My MS pine branch punch broke while I was doing this. My favorite punch!! It's retired now, but I found one on e-bay - hope it works good. Can't live without that punch.
I think that about does it. Thanks for taking a look and have a great week!

Well, if this isn't a pretty one...love it! Great paper and I love that ribbon/bow treatment. Is this your signature bow? Should be. Oh, drat...those punches. I have broken one or two in my days of crafting, too. It's maddening.

I love this card. Love the blues and pinks and this gorgeous DP with matching buttons. You have put these all together so well on the beauty. I love how you did the ribbon and bow. So glad you were able to find a punch to replace your broken one.

This card has "Sweet" written all over it!!! How cute those buttons are going down the side. Love this pretty layout. You have created a most amazing Easter card. That punch must be notorious for breaking because I broke mine as well just last year. Broke my heart until I replaced it myself. So glad you found another one. Hip Hip Hooray on the punch count too!!!!

Wow Sis, this is scrumpious. Has a country/fresh/vintage/punchy look to it. Love all the details, and I now want that dp when before I didn't look twice at it. You could be the spokeperson for that $1 stamp too - if I wasn't on crafty supply restriction, I would want to go get it now. LOL! This is really, really pretty and I love it. Hugz!!!

I agree, I really like that dp, as well. Even though the blue is not pastel, it really does add a nice contrast to the dp and makes the whole card stand out. Beautifully done!

I had to pop into my good friend, Pam-e-kin's, gallery to get my sweet and pretty fix. Girl...you did not disappoint! This is so wonderful. Thanks for the Twitterpated fix.

Gorgeous card, Pamzi!! Love the colour combo and the DPs you used. I have avoided that nestie, but you have made it look very tantalizing based on how you have used it! Great layout and lots and lots of punches
