Shine baby, shine!
I still love Bodacious Bouquet. It’s so fresh and fun. The one thing that I always enjoy doing with this set is cutting out the flowers and popping them up. It works and is generally very pleasing to the eyes… plus they needed to shine! Can’t I make anything without glitter lately???
I wanted a shimmery, shiney look for this piece. I used my VersaMagic inks in Pink grapefruit, Pink Petunia, Pixie Dust and Aspen Mist. I also used my craft pads in Pretty in Pink, Regal Rose and Bashful Blue. The cardstock is Bashful Blue, Pretty in Pink and Shimmer white. I did use two additional stamp sets- Linen BG (on the flowers) and the Jumbo Wheel, Rough Texture. The ribbon is from May Arts. The flower are covered in Crystal Stickles. They shine like crazy!
I received some stamps from Papertreyink.com yesterday, so I hope to play with them this weekend. It’s dreary in Central PA, so I will need something else to brighten things up, I think stamping is just what I need!
Hugs,

OMG!!! I love this card…I hope they don’t disc this set in July. I just recently “discovered” it & have seen so many wonderful things done with it. It’s now on my “gotta have it” list…you know, the one that I’ve had going since the last catty came out???? I don’t think I’ve bought much off it at all. *blushes* With fewer minis coming out, I hope to change that..
I hope it doesnt retire either because I think I am getting it with my Sellabration points. You do a beautiful job with this set.
Dang!!! This is absolutely gorgeous!!!! And you did a great job capturing the sparkles with the camera!!! Love it!!
Oh My Goodness how awesome is this?! I LOVE the shimmer and the popped flowers!!!
