I've been wanting to case this card of our featured stamper, Wattle (Kathy), ever since I saw it as I have those same die cuts and thought it looked great on her card.
Put lots of sky blue pearls (though they look white in the photo), changed out the PP, CS, one less layer, added ribbon, different border punch, 2 b/flies and 1 flower, sparkles, and the sentiment is in an oval punch. I rasied up the first layer and raised up the die cuts and sentiment ovals.
Hope you like it Kathy! I wish I could case all of your cards as they are so magnifico!!!

WOW!!! I think I even like this one better than the original--although both are spectacular. Great work.

How soft and beautiful! I hope SU gives us a beautiful, soft mauve that seems to be in that paper. Very pretty and the way you fussy punched the butterflies was perfect!

Stunning card, Pam. I love how you dressed it up with the pearls and the lovely butterflies. And I notice you even added some embellies on the inside. Someone will be very lucky to receive this beauty!
P.S. Even your presentation is wonderful!!

Beautiful - love what you did with the vintage die cuts! Had these in my hand the other day and almost bought them but wasn't sure what I would do - now I need to go back to the store : ) Thanks for the inspiration!

I love your case. I just favorited it. Now if I get around to casing it I'll have to send it to you and Wattle. I wonder if it'll be like that game telephone where the last is nothing like the first.
Anyway, I love pink and white and pearls and lacy punches, this card rocks.
