Sneak over to the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge blog at http://priscillastyles.blogspot.com/ and check out the wonderful sketch that Priscilla designed for us this week!! I used a Stampin'Up! set that I dearly love called In Full Bloom. I stamped the flowers in clear embossing ink and then embossed with gold embossing powder!! I did the bees from this set the same way and colored their wings with white lace Stickles! I used some Cranford Gold paper from Michaels that I have in my stash, I don't know if they handle it anymore. I used pink houndstooth paper that was out from last week and Some green cardstock from my stash. I cut my Nestibilities Scalloped Ovals out of the green and the gold and Cuttlebugged all of the green and gold papers!! I cut a white oval out with the Nestibilities plain oval and then mounted the flowers which I cut out and decorated with gold Stickles on popdots on the white oval. I added some Martha Stewart branch punch outs and around 3 sides of th pink houndstooth I put Martha Stewart hydrenga border punch that I covered with white lace stickles too!! That one that you don't have to have a corner punch for because you can match it up okay just with little pieces in the corners. I decorated the envelope with the same stamp and stickles!! VOILA!! I patiently waiting for Priscilla to make an envelope template for the 5 1/2 by 4 size card, I think that is called the A2?? That is the one I use the most!!

Phyllis, what a stunner! Love that gold paper too. Those bees are just the right touch for your flowers. Lots of sparkle adds so much to the card. Just elegant and classy. I'm excited to be creating along side you with the MM team for a few weeks.
