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.

This is exquisite!..all soft and pink looking..a card after my own heart! That doily is one of my most favourite stamps and paired with the flower spray it is to die for! By the way...do you 'rent out' your hubby? I have a feeling you could make a fortune.. he gives very good design advice! Give me a call...we'll talk! LOL

The first comment is the only one I have read, and I feel the same way! I have a few doilies like this, that my Grandmother made for me, they are treasures, as is this beautiful card, Peggy!! A beautiful execution of the stamp, your sponging and the flowered die cut!!

Oh wow Peggy, this is another absolute stunner. I thought it was a real doily and I thought the stamp you referred to was the birthday greeting - then I read your list - WOW. This is so beautiful Peggy, going straight into My Favs!! Well done to your hubby too LOL.

I missed this last week. Truly beautiful card. I've got card parts all over. I just can't seen to finish anything, and my Hubby although very supportive isn't as inspiring as yours.
