For some reason I love the images in this SU set called On The Grow. I used the vase of flowers from the set to make this card. I colored with markers, used a versamark pen over the entire image and then clear embossed it to help it stand out and give the glassy effect. I lightly sponged around the nestie.
I added a fancy diecut label which was sent to me by my nemesis BENZI - thanks Brenda - for my sentiment and slightly sponged that too. I liked the tags so much that I bought a set of my own; but, they accidentally sent me 2. So, it will soon be time for zee zecret blog contest. Details will follow soon to zee punchiez.
I had this pretty lace I placed on the top and bottom of the card and added 2 crochet flowers I bought - nope, didn't make them - sorry!
Thanks so much for taking the time to look. I can't believe I've uploaded 2 cards in 2 days; although the last one took me 2 weeks to complete due to time constraints. I have 5 family b/days this month, so I'm a tryin' real hard to get some more cards done.
I'm still trying to get to commenting my pals as soon as I can. Miss ya!

This is just gorgeous Pamzi. I love how you sponged around the outside of your image and sentiment. It really makes it stand out and gives the most wonderful shabby chic appeal to your card. You mojo appears to be back and full swing with this lovely entry into the gallery. Just beautiful.

Love the sentiment tag - gorgeous. I was trying to figure out what nestie you had used and then I realized the lace is the thing that gave the top and bottom of it the shape - my aging eyes LOL! Beautifully coloured image and a lovely card.
