************Flowers Sparkle

                                                                                                                 I love satin and glitter; lace and sparkle!  Spring flowers and gardens.  Just Rite and Joan's Garden -challenges mixed with the MoJoMonday design layout inspired this card.  One of my favorite techniques is image stamping on a piece of acetate, then painting the design with glitter and that is how I began using a Just Rite's Plant a Little Love Set stamp.  Using Spellbinders circles and scallop circles I layered the flower.  Note the border design on the light pink paper was made using the tiny little stamp from Just Rite's You Inspire Me.  Doesn't it make a perfect frame for the glittered flower!  If you look closely a tiny seed pearl accents the space in the border stamp area.  The accents on the pink scallop and the defining lines for the paper placement were made using (oh my gosh did I really do that?!) by cutting up a lacey headband that "was" supposed to be given to my grandaughter (my bad!).  The pink flower and the pink "paper" layer were created by crocheting a length of May Arts satin ribbon.  A flourish of crystals and oh, did I mention the beautiful paper from K and Company.      A personally created card deserves a personally created envelope, and with a beautifully embossed piece of wallpaper, a couple of coordinating embellishments (I'm loving making ribbon roses these days!) .........  Welcome Spring!
