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.

Marilyn, I really like your piercing motifs. I never think to do any piercing. I think because I tend to bend the paper and make it look yucky. Yours is so nice.
I love your green background pieces too. And the sentiment is wonderful. I have trouble with some of those eyelets too. Things are better now that I have my cropadile. There isn't so much stress on them when set.
