I am in LOVE with Fancy Pants stamp sets, Bella Brush & Pollen Dust. Its so perfectly pretty and elegant. The camera did not catch the shimmer and shading on the flourish.
I decided to go with the “Create Art” cause thats how I was feeling. I feel like every card I create is my own little masterpiece! I truly dont even see them as being “cards” LOL! Just my little works of art-
Dont we all feel that way???
I used a combination of the two sets for my card here.
For the flourish of flowers I used MY very own cool technique I call Poppin Acetate (see highlighted words for tutorial).
The flowers are stamped on an acetate sheet, then Pebbles Pearlescent Chalk is dusted over the image while wet. So its very shimmery IRL! The acetate is attached using glue dotes behind the jewels (by K&co.) on the flower centers!
The cardstock is ALL Martha Stewart.
The ribbon is a sheer pink one from Michaels.
Thanks for looking!
I’d LOVE for YOU to try my technique then link it back here!!

Gorgeous! I bought a white stazon pad like 2 months ago to try this, and still haven’t done it (I also ‘lost’ my window sheets…NO idea where they may be) Once I get some transparencies I’ll definitely give this a shot, because it’s BEAUTIFUL!
I tried the technique tonight–fun and easy. Here’s a link to my card if you want to check it out: http://inkingaloud.blogspot.com/2007/06/snow-in-june.html

This is so beautiful, Lauren! I love everything about it!
This is just gorgeous!!
Beautfiul card. I need some florishes, I can see that.
Love the Fancy pants sets too – great card!
WOW! This card is so beautiful. All the embellishments and the PE just make this card a stand out. I’ll have to try your new technique this weekend. I’ve been neglecting my PE for a long time.
This card is YUMMY Lauren! Thanks for the tutorial. Now I just need to find time to try it with my wonderful Pebbles Pearl Chalks.
Another great card! I just love the flourshes, I’ll have to check out your tutorial
Thank you for providing me with such wonderful inspiration. I have quite a few stamp sets that are flourishes…with your inspiration, I now enjoy playing with them.
This is gorgeous!!! I love the layout with the two little flowered squares on the right. I definately must find time to try your poppin’ acetate technique. It’s so pretty against the dark cardstock.
