For my card I began with Pure Luxury Heavy Base Weight White and added yet another layer on top using Pop Dots to give it dimension. I stamped the "branches" on the corners and my sentiment in the lower right for balance. My flowers and butterfly were colored with Copic markers and cut out and also applied with Pop Dots. I added a bit of Frost Stickles to the butterfly. I know I will be using this set quite often... just adore the flowers!! Did you order yours yet???

Label Borders by Tami Mayberry
Tami does it again with another fabulous set that not only makes for quick and easy cards, but is still so flexible!!! My card began with Pure Luxury Blue Raspberry. I added a layer of White and then grabbed some DP from my stash to add yet another layer. I stamped the border on White and added it to the middle. Instead of using the label area I cut a tag using the Nestabilities Grommet Tags and added a bit of sponging around the edges. Two self adhesive pearls cover the grommet holes. I also used Pop Dots to raise it up a bit. This set is FABULOUS for belly bands and even though my band didn't go "around" the card, it looks as though it did. LOVED working with this set and I'm sure you will as well.
Last but not least....
Friends are Flowers Duo by Gina K Designs
I love images like this flower that can be used both as a DP image and still be colored in and used as a focal image!! I decided to use it to create my background on my card base. I used Pure Luxury Heavy Base Weight White and stamped my image in three colors randomly around the card. I added a small middle of Pure Luxury Creme de Menthe which I ran though my Vagabond using an embossing folder on just the top and bottom. My sentiment is stamped and bordered with more self-adhesive pearls.
Now hop on over to the rest of the DT's blogs and remember to leave a comment for them all as Gina will once again draw for a winner of a huge Grab Bag of stamps!!
