I used Fall-to-Layout 85 from the Clean & Simple blog. I also saw a card on Splitcoast by Jaydee that uses the same layout and stamp set and is just lovely! I used these two pieces of inspiration as a jumping off point for this card.
This new stamp set is called Elements of Style, and you can have it, too, starting May 1st. I just received my pre-order from the Summer Mini yesterday and I am looking forward to playing around with my new goodies. To make this card, I stamped the roses in Basic Black ink and used my Aqua Painter to color the roses - first with Bashful Blue ink and then I highlighted the roses with Taken with Teal. Here's a little tip that makes this process pretty easy - the roses have darker areas that allow you to see where you should add shading with a darker color. I also added some Dazzling Diamonds glitter, which you can see in the picture below.

I finished the card by adding some Sweet Pea designer paper, the sentiment and a touch of piercing. And don't you love that ruffle? It added just the right touch to this "vintagey" card.
Today is a special day in the Sannes household. My baby girl turns 4 today - how did that happen?! Here's a picture of my cutie-patootie fairy princess from her birthday party last Saturday:

Isn't she adorable? :) Have a fabulous day!
