I had the opportunity to stamp with Margstamps yesterday and use some of her new toys. I made this for the ways to use challenge -- triple play. On my card I used 3 different dies, 3 half pearls, and 3 different color gel pens. I had originally intended to leave my entire card in ivory but then my wonderful dad informed me that there was no color and you couldn't see it. So I decided to add a little color with the gel pens. I used white on the raised up areas of the embossing and around the scallop on the oval. I used the gold gel pen on the stems, flower petals, scallop around the larger oval and to outline the base layer. The orange gel pen was used on little berries on the embossing and in the flower petals. I hate to admit it, but dear dad was right--it does look better with color! I'm not telling him though! ;P tee hee just kidding, I like to tease him.
So, thanks to mom's new dies and card stock and my dad's critical eye I came out with a pretty good card.
Thanks for taking a look!

Oh my this is so beautiful! I love the different die cuts and the beautiful colors you added are just splashes of color but so very beautifully added for just the right amount of colors. Super cute card.
