Created for TLC149. This card is a mixture of some of my least favorite and most favorite things... sounds kinda strange, huh??
The cardstock colors come from my stash of hardly used colors. I really don't use purple very often, and these 2 are my least favorite shades of purple.
The Primas on this card are in a big tin that I hardly ever use... I bought it and have given away most of it, but I think I've only used one or two flowers for my personal projects.
I almost never use silver embossing powder... the gold is my favorite and I've gone through several bottles of it. But the silver is my original bottle purchased about 4 years ago... it's still almost full! I used silver on the top portion of the card.
Now for the things I love about this card... First off it's the gold EP as explained above. I used gold EP on the bottom half. I also LOVE stickles.... I use them on almost every card I make. I also love scalloped circles (still) and rub-on (the senitment is one)

Fabulous idea !!!! We should have a specific challenge feauturing all the stuff we dislike vs the stuff that like!!! You've created a new technique!!! I like it!! Acutually, your card looks great, despite it having stuff that you don't like on it. I never use silver embossing powder, and seldom my prima's. I'm with you!

Very pretty! Love the mix of gold and silver with the different purples. Purple is also not one of my favourite colours and I seldom use it either, but I really like how your card turned out and the primas look so pretty!!

Beautiful Michelle! Your colour choices and flowers create a real tropical feel, the flourishes remind me of waves, and the stickle, the froth on the waver. Your sentiment *make a wish* leaves me wishing I was in Hawaii...this a beautiful card!
