Pretties Kit Card ~ So Elegant

I finally broke down and bought the Pretties kit from Stampin Up ~ and all I can say is WOW! I attended a class where we made 5 projects using different techniques and different items from the kit, and they are all GORGEOUS!

The scan doesn't really do this card justice....the BG was stamped with a swirly stamp (not sure which set if was from, Baroque Motifs maybe) and then embossed using Irridescent Ice embossing powder. It is so pretty and sparkly IRL.

We drew lines on the bottom flower with a VersaMarker, and embossed it as well. The pink flower is colored with the pastels, and the top flower was rubbed onto a versamark pad and embossed. Some white ribbon, a hat pin and some beads from the kit finish it off.

I'm sending this card to one of my birthday club buddies ~ think she'll like it?

I love it! I was thinking of buying the kit and now I think I wil. I have been really busy and out of touch. It saves I've been tagged by you. Can you give me the details?

oops! I'm mesing up mu words babbling too much. What I meant to say wasI think I will buy the kit and what I also meant to say I was tagged by you when I was on holidays and never got back to you to see what it meant to be tagged.

I've debated about purchasing this embossing powder. I can't wait to purchase it after looking at your card.
