Congratulations to Barbara Anders for being Featured Stamper. I chose this card: Color Throwdown #51--Plant Shelf by Bar at Splitcoaststampers I was able to play last night but it was 1:00 in the morning after I got done so I'm finally uploading tonight.
I've just been busy making my daughter's quilt, she's only been waiting for it since September because I had finished my other daughter's quilt.
I started with SU old olive cs as the base. I layered with purple bazzill cs and DCWV dp. I used the MS lace punch on the bottom of the dp. I added tiny white self stick pearls to each point. I then used the SU mat stack to pierce the holes on the purple bazzill cs. I also added medium self stick pearls on the purple cs. I used the large nesties on GP white cs. I stamped the image with SU old olive ink, the flowers with SU lavender lace and again with lovely lilac. I then added 2 large pearl brads on each side. I raised the nestie shape with 3D squares and adhered an olive ribbon underneath. I stamped the tiny butterfly with lavender lace and added a tiny white pearl. I also hand wrote the sentiment with a black fine sharpie on a triangle tag and looped around the pearl brad.
Things I changed: left off the bow, used pearls, used a lace punch and held back one layer of the nesties, colors.

Hi! Please delete this if other posts saying the same thing from me, happen to go through. I hope they won't. They disappeared while I was leaving you a comment.
I LOVE this card! I think the colors are so SOOTHING and SPRING LIKE! (It is
almost worth becoming ill, just to receive a card like this one!) I think I'd rather be healthy and ask if I could CASE it...but with a different stamp!
Those pearls are INCREDIBLE! The different colors used in the flowers gives an INCREDIBLE look to them! Thanks so much for sharing this...and
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
