When Jen mentioned flower brads, I knew that is what I had to use. I bought these brads along time ago, but I never use them. I remember why now. I am sure that you can see that the paint chipped off the brads when I set them. I used my mat and brad setter like I always do for my regular brads, but this time the paint chipped. Do you think it is because they are old, defective, or do I need to set them differently? Your input is greatly appreciated. The background was done for yesterday's challenge to spray it. I used my itty bitty backgrounds set. I sprayed my water color paper with water and then stamped on it while it was still wet. It is what I like best about my card. What I like least is my brads. I don't think I will be buying any more flower brads anytime soon.

I like the eyelets - can't see the chips but I know what you mean - kind of a problem IRL. Can you color them with markers or ink? Or add polka dots like I just saw on some one else's card here.
I also like the way you did this with the message.
