This is for the Color Challenge with dessert: Hope of Spring. Stamped image in Old Olive, then stamped flower details in Pink Pirouette and stem details in Old Olive (stamped off once). Embossed white background with Brick Wall EF, brushed Radiant Pearls over the middle area using the closest green and painted some on the stems. I mixed some colors of Pearl X powder together to get close to Blushing Bride and painted that on the flowers. Layered on BB and raised up on Dimensionals. Embossed and cut butterflies in both pinks and in white. Attached in the middle and raised their wings. Add one pearl at the stem base. This is going to a friend who feels she is hitting a brick wall, making no progress & losing patience. I hope this card encourages her that there is always hope. Thanks for looking.

What a gorgeous card Diane that is sure to lift someone's spirits! I love this beautiful flower and how you added the glimmer to it with pearl ex powder. I absolutely adore the green you added to your brick bg. This card is both elegant and rustic which is a true favorite of mine. Hugs! ~Karen.

Fabulous with the brick embossed wall! Love your mixing of stamps to get your sentiment. Nice to see the radiant pearls. Are they the same as perfect pearls? Great spring card, Diane!
