I used Optimist 6x6 Paper Pack,  Buttons and Sun Kiss Charme Roses


I love this Stitched Party Banner Die from Lawn Fawn, perfect for a fun shaped card. I then die cut lots of circles from the patterned papers, randomly stamped some various sized dots before embellishing with bling :-) 


 I love how this has turned out, even if I do say so myself. This paper pack is one of my all time faves, the designs in it are gorgeous and I will need to get me another pack :-)


So now it's YOUR turn ! Happy Crafting !!

Lorraine,

What do I love about your card?

The SIMPLICITY.

You are like my Sister, you can make a statement with lots of white space and just a smattering of "jewelry" to embellish. It takes talent and a good sense of design.

Blessings,
Barb
