Made this card for a friend of mine. I simply adore this Happy Hoppers stamp. As I was creating the card, I realized I did not have any bright yellow brads so I was forced to improvise. I embossed some plain gold brads with bright yellow EP, then used yellow glitter glue to top it off. I am new to all this and was pretty excited to use what I already had. The card will go postal tomorrow. Sure hope she likes it:o)

This card is just adorable! I love your color combination, and the image is just too cute!! I'm glad to see what the brads look like after they're embossed. I've never tried that technique. Thanks for sharing!!

I really like the way you put the whole card together! Cute stamp, great coloring, the realistic sparkly wings, bold contrast colors and the cuttlebugged layer. Those embossed brads and flowers finish it off nicely. Your friend is going to love it!

Wow, that's one awesome card - it went right into my favorites folder. Love the image and the coloring, the color combo is so pretty. And those brads...ya know I'm gonna have to run up to my brads and embossing powders and give this a try. I'm sure your friend will love it.
