And now, here it is~
And details~
And the inside~
Oh. My. Word. It took me quite a while, but it is so ridiculously fabulous and I don't even mind!!! This is my first attempt at ribbon pleating--it came out pretty good!!! I heat embossed the flower outlines, colored them in, sponged the panel, and THEN dry embossed it. I almost added glitter and rhinestones, but then I realized that pearls would be more soft and subtle...and that's what I was going for!!! What do you think?! Don't tell me if you hate it... ;D
BTW~If I get 100 followers by January 1, 2012, I am giving away a bunch of blog candy!!! Please follow me and join in the fun! :)
Well, that's all for now! :) Happy stamping!!! Feel free to join in the blog hop~

Hello Mynnette, thank you for taking the time to leave a comment on my 'Star Light, Star Bright post.
This is a very beautiful card, so classy & elegant too. Adding the earls to the flowers was an excellent idea.
Wishing you a happy weekend.
Note to self: always read what you've written before hitting 'post'. Just realised I didn't add the 'p'to 'pearls'. Grrr.

Mynnette your card is superb! I love the colours and beautiful words and of course those flowers with the pearls. You did a fantastic job with the ribbon pleating and the embossed dots look great. Thanks for leaving a comment on my blog too.

This card is absolutely GORGEOUS Mynnette. Oh how I love the soft delicate colors of this, plus all the little pearls ... soooooo beautiful!
Many thanks for your kind comment on my blog.

What a beautiful card! So many lovely, sweet elements. The ribbon is fantastic, and the flower branch with all those lovely pearls is just amazing. Such a pretty, pretty card. ;-)
Thank you, friends!!! :)
wow, that is really pretty. So many great details. Thanks so much for playing along with my sketch challenge this week!
Your card turned out so lovely! and the pearls were definitely the right choice vs. glitter and rhinestones. I always say the problem with jumping the shark is that you usually dont know you have done it until you are airborne! I have to toss so many cards because I never know when a little more glitter is too much! I so love my glitter. Thank you for sharing your beautiful card! (its my favorite this week!)
Simply beautiful and elegant... thanks for joining us at Simon Says Challenge blog
