I've had this Sweet Peas set for quite a while now and FINALLY got to ink it up. The layout is Mercy Kerin's Sketch 36, I added pearls to the sentiment for the Timeless Tuesday Challenge, and the ribbon treatment on the oval sentiment (from the Signs of Spring set) was totally inspired by this card from Christine Okken. LOVE how she did the ribbon and just HAD to try it for myself! (You're such an inspiration, Christine!) The pearls were originally white and I colored them with my RV21 Copic.
Flourishes stamps, May Arts ribbon, curved rectangle nesties, Kaiser Craft pearls, and the Prism Vibrant Pink CS are all available at Stamper's Dream.
The Kraft mat behind the main image is up on foam tape. The sponging around the main image was done with Pretty in Pink ink.

So pretty Denise....love that ribbon, and those oval punches! Every day I stop by, I'm inspired!
There, now. Wasn't that easy? I had my Sweet Peas set since they were first released and was too intimidated to use them until 2 weeks ago. Once I did, I realized they were a snap to water color. Your card is absolutely beautiful, though. Your sponging around the main image is so perfectly smooth that it looks airbrushed. I wonder what kind of sponge you use. Anyway, congratulations on another exquisite card.
Beautiful Denise!!
Awesome card, Denise. Lovin' all pink and the shading around the edges...but then you know that it is my current "thing", right, lol?!
soft, sweet, and so lovely.....love the petals at the corners....great detail....also the l/o is fab
Very pretty card. I love the soft colors that you used.

A really delicate card. I love the soft pink around the image and the great layout. I hope you start to feel better soon.
