Beautiful Swirl

 

I loved the layout of Stampin'Gala's card (found on Pinterest).... so I chose to use the same layout for my card. I wanted to use Flirty Flamingo as my "niece" (Best Friend's daughter) loves anything pink (my kinda gal).

I love how my background piece works with this card. It's the new 'Swirls of Magic' Embossing Folder. I can see where I'll be using this folder a lot in my cards!

I added a Wink of Stella to the flower petals to make them shine.

Thanks for taking a closer look!

Simply Timid

 

My first card using the new 'Simply Beautiful' stamp set from Stampin' Up!. I wanted a softer flower look, so used the colors of the flowers and leaves instead of using Memento ink. Thus, creating a more watercolor effect on the flowers. I did add 'Wink of Stella' on the flowers to make them shine. This photo does not showcase the sparkle that 'in person' does (sorry).

Thanks for stopping by!
