Today's set I am featuring is Roses. Once I had colored my rose using prismacolor markers, I then lightly stippled some distress ink around the edges before layering and adding some vintage baby brads and popping up over a ruffled ribbon border. After sponging some walnut distress ink around the card's edge, adding some light green prima pearls, I finished off the card by making my own floral spray in the upper right hand corner.

Thanks for stopping by today. Have a great day and don't forget to stop by the rest of the design team blogs for a chance to win one of today's featured sets.

Come on back tomorrow for more FAVORITES!!

Today I am showcasing Chrysanthemum. I truly love the uniqueness of the flowers and how the set pairs so easily with other sets as well, especially Scenic Selections. After coloring the flowers with prismacolor markers, I then stippled some distress inks around the edges then added some black baby brads and a die cut butterfly for a clean and simple card.

I hope you were inspired by my favorite today. Make sure to stop by the rest of the design team blogs to leave some love for a chance to win one of today's featured sets.

Happy New Year!!

Welcome to 2015 everyone!!! I for one am glad 2014 is done and over with. Way too many health issues to deal with over the last year, especially the last six months; hence the sporadic blogging as of late. I am hoping to do better this next year; hopefully.

Enjoy the week ahead of you and thank you for stopping by today.
