back to my card sorry about that

I used a different colour then I am used to 

but really fun to step outside my comfort zone a tad hey?

so the Green

is GARDENT GREEN

along with Basic Black and Very vanilla

DSP is Newsprint

then I stamped the background with Crump Cake

I also did some sponging

then I stamped the flowers from the stamp set called

EVERYTHING ELEANOR

I stamped with the garden green as well as the crump cake

I stamped onto the newsprint DSP

cool don't you think

then I layered and played around to make it look more as though it was a real flower

verses just a flat look

a pretty I created with the beloved toulle

oh boy I love that ribbon

then a few pearls and

add the base layers and voila

I think the little flower turned out okay

Voila my card

I just got some of this ribbon because of your card from convention. Do you cut it in half as it seems really wide to make the small bows you make?

[Charlotte]

Lovely as always

[Linda Callahan]

Your cards are always wonderful and I love your step by step commentary - so fun! Now about that tulle bow - wowza~!

[Sharon Steinwand]

Once again - beautiful! The flower colors blend so well - it sure does have a great dimensional look. That bow is also awesome -thanks for the inspiration. Even though I might not CASE "your" cards often, you always inspire me to go and create something! Thanks.

[Ann D.]

I love seeing all of your creations! And that bow is wonderful.

[Susan]

I love the tulle bow, soooo pretty on this card !

[Suzanne C.]

Gorgeous card! Beautiful flower and I love your tulle bow, need to buy some too!

[Pam]

Beautiful card. I love reading all your posts. Thanks for the change to win the blog candy. Pam

[Carey Rogers]

OK. How the heck did you make that bow look like that? I think you probably just tied a normal bow but it turned out great.

[Tina Best]

[Kimberly Sudol]

WOW!! Loved what you did with that tulle...it's GORGEOUS!! Any thought to maybe doing a video to show us how to make that??

[carolyn s]

What a gorgeous card, and love that flower so much! How in the world did you make it? You do beautiful work, Carole Ann, but then, I've told you that before. :)

[Carol Carriveau]

I love, love the flower....it really makes the card pop! Wonderful idea to stamp on the First Edition DSP....really adds to the beauty of the flower and vice versa! The tulle bow is very pretty as well. Thank you for offering the blog candy.... Take good care and take a few cleansing breaths once in awhile...LOL!

[D]

I love your card, as usual. The flower and bow are so fun!

[Theresa in Kitimat]

Glad your workshop went well and you had fun. You are a busy lady. Aren't renos fun? Not. I am renoing the house I will be moving into. Took it down to the studs in most rooms, including both bathrooms. Most of the stuff has been bought to finish, except for paint. Can't decide on colors. And we are at a standstill right now waiting for the gyprock mudder to finish. The job he said would take 1 to 1 1/2 weeks is now nearly a month. And we can't do anything else until he finishes. Painting, flooring, bathroom fixtures etc. Oh well, contractors!!!
I really like your card by the way. Love the bow.

[Jennifer Reynard]

Oh my goodness, drop dead gorgeous card. How on earth did you make that beautiful toulle flower?? You must have incredible patience!! Another winner! :)

Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous card! Did I say gorgeous!? :) I love the colors, the bow, the flower and the layot! TFS!

[Mary]

The more I see of that tulle, the more I like it, beautiful cards as always! Mary

[Pam Carter]

Carole Anne, as usual you out did yourselve on your card. I love the flower and the ribbon. I haven't decided if I want to order that ribbon or not. You kind of make me want to. I agree about all you do. I've told you before when I've commented that I don't know how you do it all. Thanks for giving us a chance for Blog Candy. Pam
