Carole is the FS today!!! Woo-Hoo!! And she was introduced my Cindy (Mothermark) Another Woo-Hoo!! Both are amazing and kind ladies!! So this was an especially fun FS to do today.
I loved how she did the bg and thought...way cool, I need to do that. And I just got my new papertrey stamps in the mail yesterday. Perfect for this layout and technique!! NOT!! First of all, my bg turned out yucky (if you could see underneath the darker frame, you'd know just how yucky!!I even tried using white core paper.) So I embossed instead. Then the piercing. Backwards! Duh!!! Oh, well. This card and layout was inspired by Carole's gorgeous piece!! It's 4 1/4 X 4 1/4. tfl

You're just crazy, Tosh -- this is BEAUTIFUL!! It's so funny when things don't turn out like we planned, isn't it? I swear, if someone saw what we actually did to get a card made... well, it'd be like watching sausage get made! On that pleasant note, let me just say that I love this, love all your work, and love that you played today! You're the best!

You and Carole both have such a hand for beauty! This is so elegant, so gorgeous, Tosh! I love the crystal pieces on the flourishes in Joy. So very beautiful!
