Smiles

Hey there everyone.  Not a very productive Saturday afternoon - I kept making mistakes and measuring wrong!  I nearly gave up on the card below - I made it for this weeks challenge over at AnnaBelle Stamps blog - say it with background stamps and also thought I would have a go at their Topical Tuesday - faux silk which is where you stamp on tissue paper - the lovely Sue Walsh has created a great tutorial here at Stamp, Embellish, Create.  Here is my card using stemmed flowers and BBD 2 stamps

and a close up - I stamped the flowers on tissue, layered it on jac paper (double sided stickers). 
 
for the back ground stamp - I created a frame and stamped the one of the single icons, that comes with Background By Design 2, continuously I tell you I stamped that little icon so much that in the end it became blurry!  After assembling it all I applied liquid pearls to the flower centers and randomly in the center of the single icon.
materials - Core 'dinations aquarium cardstock, AC sand cardstock; AnnaBelle Stamps BBD2, stemmed flowers stamps; Versa Color celadon, bamboo and scarlet inks; Kaisercraft pearls; Ranger baby blue and ruby red liquid pearls; Daisy D's cardboard diecut tag; Inque velvet trim.
Thanks for looking and enjoy your weekend.
