I have had a mental block lately and it takes me forever to make a card these days, but with help from DeborahLynneS here on SCS, I finally completed this card just in time to mail it to my friend Susan for her birthday.
I clear embossed over the Soft Sky Designer Series Paper, then sponged over the flower with Blue Bayou, cut out the flower and layered it with 3 layers. There are dimensionals between the layers and popping the whole flower up as well.
I used the Sakura Stardust pen to dot the points on the Print Pattern background and between all the petals on the flower, too. The rhinestone brads are all supposed to be blue, but the colors are so faint, it is difficult to tell, so much so, that I thought they were all blue when I picked them out of my assortment, but I think the center one on the bottom is actually clear. Like I said, it is so hard to tell. I think I will be ordering them from Stampin' Up! next time! :-)
Thanks for looking.

This is so beautiful!!! I love how you've dotted the print points, and don't you just love how the flower comes out with the clear emboss and ink sponged? This is just gorgeous-- love your colors too!!!
