I saw a card in a recent stampers magazine that inspired me to make this card. I used SU DP on the upper portion and dry embossed Whisper White on the lower portion using one of SU's new templates. I colored with markers direct to stamp on the flower image in the lower left corner and stamped the sentiment underneath it. I used a corner punch to make the scallop on the border going across and the punch tool for the small circles in the scallop. I sponged with craft white on the scallop. The flowers are white primas that I hand dyed to match. The little pearls inside the flowers are from K'ology.

Jerri, I swear you go from dazzling diamonds (your watercolor cards) to absolutely stunning with a simple WOW card. The simplicity of the layout and your talent to tie everything together makes this another one of your outstanding creations. I will be casing this one (I never attempt your watercolors, just ooogle over those!!).
