Hello & Happy Thursday Everyone!

I hope your week is going well....

Mine has been busy, busy! 

With school ending in just a few short weeks (YAY)

things get a little more hectic these days...

Also, planning another quick trip to Vegas

plus 2 of my boys have Birthdays this next week....

At least the weekend will be here before you

know it.. umm tomorrow! LOL

and maybe I can get caught up on a few more

things I need too... Other wise it'll just have to wait til

Summer Vacation! 😎

I do have an Elegant card to share with you today..

I was watching a Jennifer McGuire video about a 

week or two ago and watched her use some

Perfect Pearls on some cards... I've actually NEVER

used the stuff before... I know your all thinking WHAT???

What's wrong with you Theresa?? hahaha It's all good...

Sooo... I actually went out & purchased a small pack from

Joann's to try this technique out...

So, this card is inspired by Jennifer McGuire --

I got a brand new stamp set off of Ebay for like $2 and

it had these pretty 3 step stamping flowers & leaves... So I

thought, this is the perfect set to test it out on... And WOW!

I sooo LOVE the way this card looks.... it really shimmers

in real life! It did take me like 2 tries at first, because it

was human error! But then I got with the program and

BAM made this pretty card! LOL

** Supplies Used on this Card **

Cardstock - Stampin' Up, Georgia Pacific, Bazzill

Scalloped Stitched Card Mat Die - Craftin' Desert Diva's

Banner Die - Lawn Fawn
