Okay, okay...I know what you're thinking! I thought she was going to use some of those sets she's never used before! Well, I will....I promise...just not today. :)
Don't forget...I do still have a whole bunch of these already-stamped flowers. I can't let them go to waste.....goodness no! They need to be watercolored, my friends! It's the right thing to do...
It's a bit hard to tell in the photo; but I used some shimmer spray on the background of the leaves and flowers. I made the shimmer spray about a hundred years ago (clearly it has a great shelf life...) using Aztec Gold Pearl Ex Powder and cheap-o hairspray...like that Aqua Net garbage our moms used to use...cough, cough....I can't breathe... I do not remember the ratio of pearl ex to hairspray; but I think you could experiment until you like it.
I added some blingaliciousness with sparkly rhinestones, and played around with my small oval punch for a fun ribbon treatment. I am soooo happy that this set is not retiring! Hopefully, you won't get sick of seeing samples with this set, because I am sooooo not done playing with it yet...
Happy Friday everyone! Make it a GREAT one!
Love,

Beautiful card! You are great with those flowers. I would NOT have the patience to cut them out.
