For today's WT: A Favorite stamp-I asked my DH what my favorite stamp is, and without hesitation he said, "Itty Bitty Background", and he's right! I have used that stamp set numerous times to add interest to my creations. First, I stamped the flowers in vm, added heat & stick powder, heated, then used Seafoam Splendor & Blue Brilliance glitters to each one. So sparkly, just like glimmer paper. I added a gold brad to the center. The dp goes with the stamp set. A curry twine triple bow was added to the triple wrapped twine with a sticky dot. Eyelet border punch used on teal layer, which is popped up. IBBG on the CB. Thanks for stopping by today! ~Roberta

Oh Roberta, this card is absolutely stunning my friend. I am giggling about you asking your hubby what your favorite stamp is. I will have to ask my hubby now when he gets home. LOL. Your card design is stunning and really showcases your gorgeous sparkly flowers (don't you just love heat and stick powder for stuff like this). The triple wrapped twine and bow with curled ends is fantastic and is the perfect finishing touch on this super fabulous card. Hugs mf. ~Karen.

Your DH knows your work very well (mine would have NO IDEA). Lots of glamour to your card with the glittered flower. Pretty matching DP and the curly tails to your bow are so cute.

I find myself using IBBB a lot...the dots are wonderful for filling in empty space. I have the set, office acc. but have never used it. The flower looks great, especially all sparkly, Roberta!
