This is a card I started last week when I didn't post anything and couldn't figure out how to finish it. Once again I thank my husband for his suggestion of a bow to "anchor" it! I finally purchased this stamp which I have wanted for a while and when you could finally get it as a cling stamp, the cost went down it became mine! I think maybe my side borders should have been a little wider and I sooo wanted to bling them up with SOMETHING but my dear husband said no. "Less is More" so sadly no pearls or brilliants. I can't use liquid pearls to save my soul so they weren't even an option although the most cost effective one! If ANYONE has a trick or suggestion as to how to use this product effectively I would love to know. I have practiced and practiced and PRACTICED and it did not make mine even a near second to perfect! I can get maybe 2 out of 10 the right size and they stay that way the rest blob out. I have tried thumping the back (a suggestion from a friend) and it didn't help.

Your husband is turning out to be quite the card maker!! This is gorgeous. I can't use liquid pearls either....they're languishing in a drawer somewhere.
Keep the gorgeous cards coming you two!! (LOL)

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

Stunning card and use of this background stamp, Peggy! It is always nice to see things used with a new twist and you have certainly done that be adding your beautiful bouquet of flowers in front of the doily image.
