I used some wonderful printed glittery cardstock from K&Company and spiced it up with some chalk on the edges. I added some adorable polka dot Prima flowers with some dark red bling and used one of the great vertical sayings from Plate #13 called Holiday Verticals. That stamp plate is only $12 and gives you 10 different full size veritcal sayings! What a bargain. I trimmed mine out on thick white cardstock and used a border punch from EK Success to add some pizazz.

I just like to say thank you for this awesome tip, for using sentiment inside the punched out border. It's look totally amazing. And i will try it for sure. Flowers with gems absolutely gorgeous. You made a very pretty card.

What a sweet fairy and I love that you colored her to match the card. It's called monochromatic....right?
