This was a fun card to make using some new Spellbinders dies and the SU Apothecary Art which I just had to have and yet this is my first time using it.
This if the VLV sketch for week 2.
I did some "fussy cutting" on some leaves (from K&Co beautiful DP which I used for the background layer) to tuck in behind the die. I also "fussy cut" a couple of the flowers for the inside.
I added lots of pearls (of course) and some stickles to the stamped flowers, although I'm not sure how well they show up here.
This is for my Mom's birthday next week and I think she will really like this.

OMG!!! This is absolutely stunning!! Inside and out! I love that you used only the bottom half of the SU stamp and that you left it uncoloured....what a great look!

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