This is for today's challenge to make a square card. This is my favorite size and shape -- a 5 1/2" square. I use 6" square envelopes.
I had such fun with this, using many new toys. The paper is the new River Rock and Brocade Background DP from SU. The chandelier is a new stamp from Impress Rubber Stamps. What fun decorating that up!!! I did some outlining and highlighting with a Sakura Stardust Gelly Roll pen and then, of course, every chandelier needs some crystals!!! I also got the brownish Swarovski crystals from Impress Rubber Stamps (they shine and sparkle SOOOO beautifully), but the yellow rhinestones I used for the candle flames are from A Muse. I also outlined the Designer Label Punch (SU) with the Stardust pen.
The velvet ribbon is tied neatly into a bow. If you'd like instructions on how to tie heavy ribbon into neat bows, I have them written out and included in one of my cards in the Fan Club Gallery.

That's the neatest use of the Designer Label punch! I hadn't seen that before!

Oh, you combined this paper beautifully! What a fun chandelier stamp, too! Gosh, it looks like it's actually lit up! So elegant! Love the velvet ribbon tied into that perfect bow!
