"ALWAYS ELEGANT" FOR A SWEET FRIEND - CR84FN23

I recently bought Stampin' Up!'s Always Elegant stamp set, and decided the fine lines and delicate look of the stamps would be perfect for this week's CR84FN Colour Challenge #23.  Take a look at this gorgeous inspiration piece:



Here is the pretty, girly, card I made:

  4. How divine! Beautiful Christine! Love the hint of stamp that is peeking out from your gorgeous bloom (you know you have seriously converted me with these). The embossing gives a lovely balance to the bloom & that wonderful bow. I can't pick the shimmer in the photo, but I know it will be all gorgeous & sparkly. Love it. :)
