Even though they were super cute, I ended up taking my inspiration from the small white flowers with yellow centers. I used my Bella Blvd Plastino stamp set and some Zva Creative tiny flower shaped rhinestones (mixed crystal wheel) on this card. Hold on to your hats ladies -there is NO pattern paper in this card! I created my own by embossing the flowers, stamping the leaves and embellishing with rhinestones!!And, Swiss Dots... oh how I love you? Let me count the ways -uh, you make a great accent strip, great background piece and great texture on embellishments! You would NEVER know I have tons of other folders, LOL!! The layout is from the Fall To Layout #65.
Everyone is invited to play along in the challenge!! If you do, be sure to link your creation to Mr. Linky on the HSE blog. Every week, Rach highlighs
