Awash With Flowers


 
Okay, so I am a HUGE fan of the stamps I own.  When we moved to the new house and I set up my craft room, I donated a ton of stamp sets and craft supplies that I knew I would never use or things that were no longer my 'taste'.  I will not part with my 'retired' stamp sets from Stampin' Up.  Just won't.  The sets I have I LOVE and the people who I send cards to have no clue that the materials I used to create the card are no longer sold by the manufacturer, or were part of a limited sale. 
 
I used the Awash With Flowers cling set from SU and Calypso Coral and Island Indigo SU inks. Little bit of lace stapled on with my Tim Holtz Mini-Stapler and some distress inks....ofcourse can't forget the gold bling!

You Rock!



 
This card was inspired by an awesome card at rockwelldesigns.blogspot.com.  It is not often that I make a card that is not all 'flowery'....I am a flowery kinda gal!  But this card I made in celebration of paying off my car note after 6 years of $865 a month!  Whew!  The dancing girl is from the Human Silhouettes font.  I also used the Abusive Pencil font for the 'You Rock'.   Circles are acrylic paint painted onto the edges of paint daubers.  I added some bling and VOILA!  What a fun card to make!  AND, it only took me 30 minutes, versus the usual 2-days (I craft in stages!!)!
