Soft & Subtle Thanks

Okay. This card is actually something that I am terribly proud of. It's turned out sooooo much better than I thought it would! Can you believe it?! I can't...it's really late I didn't think it would be good at all!!!

Okay, I am entering this into a few challenges AND my first blog hop--I am just so happy with it, I want to share it with as many people as possible!!!

1. Play Date Cafe (colors)

2. Gingersnap Creations (Thank You Notes)

3. Simon Says Stamp (ANYTHING GOES!)

4. Techno Stamper (layout--I turned it...)

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~
