PPA 81- Bliss Sketch

I was really stumped when I looked at this sketch, but once I got the Bliss stamp set out, things just started rolling. And, I really fell in love with this card once I perched that sweet little bird onto the card! I'm very pleased!

Pals Paper Arts New Blog Design Launch!

It is SOOOOO exciting to be a part of this makeover on the Pals Paper Arts Blog! Play along! The above photo is the inspiration for our re-design launch today. There is so much in this photo that I really had to stare at it quite awhile before I zeroed in on the white on white and plum sparkly flowers below the candle just right of center.

• I began my card with Whisper White card stock. The first layer is the Square Lattice embossing folder. I added some shimmer to this with Vanilla Shimmer Smooch Spray.
• Next I layered on a border using Perfect Plum punched out with the Eyelet Border punch. Pearls dot this border for some classy sheen.
• I punched out some flowers very easily from Lap of Luxury Designer Series Paper with the Birds & Blooms Sizzlits and my Big Shot. I added shimmer to those with the Vanilla Shimmer Smooch Spray as well. The center of each layered flower was graced with another pearl from the Pearl Basics collection. They are popped up with more Stampin' Dimensionals.
