OH my goodness I so love this set EMBRACE LIFE .. One of my favorites lately ( besides the INFINITE GOODNESS level 2 Hostess set ) I made this for a dear lady at our church .. This Sunday right after church there will be a surprise Birthday party for her She is turning 80 . Can you believe that ? What a sweetie she is .. I told you I have been hooked on Crayon resist lately and well that's what I used again for my card today .. I wanted to see what it would look like if I just scribbled inside the flowers with the white crayon ( Just goofing around ya know ?) and WOWZIE what a nice look ( I think so anyway ) so instead of your typical outline with the white crayon I just scribbled inside the lines instead :-) Just playing around and who would have thought It would look so Great ! I used soft sky and river rock cardstock with black GG ribbon .. For the saying I used the LG. OVAL PUNCH and then layered that on to black CS and trimmed around the oval punch, added a bunch of SILVER BRADS and a touch of dazzling diamonds to add some bling, I used my WHITE GEL PEN also and my DAUBER with soft sky to finish the edges of base card . I used my HOBBY BLADE to cut a slit next to the black strip of CS on left side and added my GG ribbon through that . Thank you so much for stopping in today and sharing a part of your day with me .. Have a Blessed day
Until later .. Happy Stampin !
ooohhhh so glad you were goofing around I love how it makes the flowers come to life. See, I learn something everyday coming on your blog!
hugs coming your way

I LOVE this. I have had this set sitting here without even being mounted yet.(*hangs head*..I know I know..what was I thinking???) Your card has inspired me to try this technique again and see what I can come up with. What a great job!

Again, another gorgeous card! I just love it. I am waiting to get my watercolor crayons and I am anxious because I really want to try this technique! The lady at your church will LOVE it!
