Before I head out to Convention, I wanted to leave you with something "pretty" to look at.  This card was a July workshop sample – featuring a flower from our new "Pretties" kit.  I used a stamping sponge to apply the ink – stroking each petal from the center out to the tip.  And the center of the flower is one of our new GORGEOUS rhinestone brads.  Man, oh man!  I just can’t get enough of those beauties!  (The color is actually blue, from the "Ice" collection, although I know it doesn’t look that way in the scan.)

Colors are 2 of our "In Colors"(TM) – Blue Bayou and Soft Sky, the latter used in the Prints Designer Series paper on the card and as liner for the envelope.  And that’s Blue Bayou double-stitched ribbon.  Yummy!
