I decided to case another card from Christy, the featured stamper this week to create a thank you card. This is more in line with her original card than the last one I did.
This is my first time using the Fifth Avenue Floral stamp set. I paper pieced the flower with tea party dsp, double layered it with dimensionals on shimmery white paper and covered it with iridescent ice for sparkle over the entire flower. I added a trio of flowers, some rhinestone brads, a ribbon and ef b/ground.
Thanks so much for taking the time to look and if you have a chance, please let me know what you think.

LOL!! Thanks for sharing - I am loving it!!

There's that detail again, Pam. I think what you've created today is nothing less than a masterpiece. OMGosh, it's just spectacular with that gorgeous pieced and glittered flower. Although I've read your deets, I have to admit I have no idea how you created this card. Your skill level is way beyond mine, girl. No contest.
