Finally! For some reason this card was totally kicking my butt! I picked this image to use this week because I am organizing a bridal shower that will take place in a couple of weeks and I thought it would be a good way for me to get my card done. Great idea right?...After picking the image I decided to use this really neat card shape that I saw HERE on Kris's blog. (I cut it wrong about 4 times before I read the directions correctly...then it was easy so read the directions and follow them, k?) Anyway, I printed, colored, and cut out the image. Even matted it on the color I wanted...then I embossed the center portion of the card and then...I was stuck. I wasn't sure what to do with it. I slept on it last night and woke up with a picture of what you see on my blog today in my head. I added a couple of rolled flowers, the sentiment, and my all time favorite ribbon. Oh, and I used some Tsukineko Shimmer Spritz in Sparkle on every piece of cardstock that you see including the flowers. It is so lovely in real life. I entered this into the PaperPlay Challenge for this week which is embossing.
Below is the rest of the day's images and artwork. I hope you enjoy it and thanks for stopping by!

Your card is gorgeous. Great job!!! I hate getting stuck on cards but I have learned, like you, the best thing to do is to sit on it and wait for some inspiration.
Lorie, I am in AWE!! This absolutely gorgeous!!! I can't stop looking ai it. Wonderful job.
Oh Lorie...This is a STUNNING card! So beautiful,elegant,lovely...I LOVE it!!!
OH NOOOO... gawsh, I'm so sorry Lorie that you had to cut it 3-4 times!! That's about like me with the first instructions I got in CENTIMETERS! So I thought doing it in inches would be much simpler. ANyways... Maybe a video tutorial next time huh?? *Ü* For the record your card turned out AMAZING!!! It's so pretty, love the foral embossing on the sides and the pretty yellow rose on thed ress. AWESOME JOB!!!
Hugs,
Kris
