Compose a Card Challenge #4

My sister and I decided to play along with Becky Ohlers' Compose a Card Challenge.  Find the details at Becky's site: http://hemidemisemiquaverdesignblog.com/

 

This was quite the challenge for me.  I love the color combination but stamping a negative image is the challenging part.  The issue is I want solid coverage and I seldom get the coverage I would like with negative stamps.  I hope you enjoy my card.

 
One tip: I didn't have matching pearls and rhinestones so I colored them with a Copic marker.

I also did a little stamping on the inside of the card.



Thanks for checking out my card,  Jessica

PS: Check out my sister's post a little later.

PTI Day 13 Contest


I love this Gerber Daisy flower that I make using my cricut.  I am becoming very fond of this color combination.

 

Most of the supplies came from my stash.  I sure do hope that PTI does an assortment pack of paper with all last year releases like they did last year.
Thanks for checking out my card and pre-made embellishments: 2 flowers, 3 buttons with PTI twine, and ribbon with 2 chipboard buckles.
