Oh my I have so much to say. I make the bokeh piece a couple of weeks ago and was disappointed that the sponge I used had some pink ink in and and gave a pinkish hue to my bokeh circles as well as my white ink pad. Grrrrr... However I felt the background piece had potential so I did not trash it...
Upon revisiting it this morning I thought, Why not use this along with TEEEENY TIIINY crystals I picked up that are used on your fingernails (no thank you) and embellished my flowers with them. I have always heard different crystals bring you different healing qualities and energies and though I think that to be California mumbo jumbo(no offense to my beloved left coasters please) I do think they are very pretty and amazing geological creations and have many in my house, most from my dear Nana Francie's rock collection! So the crystals on my card are my *lucky Charms*!
Thank you for looking AND listening and I wish you all a day filled with all that you hope for. hugs to all, NR

Your bokeh circles make those crystals really pop. Very creative and such a pretty card, NancyRuth.

Absolutely gorgeous! I think I need to go shop the nail art section of the drug store - these crystals look amazing! Great bokeh background, too. Into my faves!

Into my favourites, NancyRuth, I think this is so beautiful. I'm glad you kept that background piece, it looks amazing with the little jewels and the seed-heads.

Oh Nancy, I am so glad you did not trash this, WOW this is so beautiful. Those jewel seeds are a perfect touch of elegance on this sympathy card. I have heard of crystals bringing good luck and this is a great card for them. Thank you for joining in my WTUI challenge showing us your form of luck. Hugs!
