Sneak A Peek with a Peek-A-Boo!!

Hi All! This Friday, this bouquet of flowers..... could be YOURS! It's one of the new 1 Free with 3 set from Gina K. Designs. Buy three sets - you get this baby free! It's called Friendship Blooms and it has the prettiest flowers in it. Since I love flowers and I love to color--- what could be better?? I stamped my image on a circle that I cut out with my circle Nestabilities die. I then colored the flowers and vase with watercolor pencils and blended it all with a blender pen. Add some Stickles and that was it! I matted a scalloped green circle onto a larger circle that I sponged with sage green ink.


Now comes the surprise! I attached my flower piece to the base with one of Gina K's new kind of bling - they are rhinestone brads - they are smaller than the "mega" ones already in her store but bigger than a lot of the other brands out there -- makes them perfect! Why do I need a brad you ask.... scroll down and see!
There's a peek-a-boo phrase! I love this font - so elegant!
The rest of the card is pretty simple. The center is a strip of paper that I edged with ivory cardstock that was punched with the Threading Water Fiskars Border punch. I used my slot punch from Stampin' Up to create the holes for my ivory satin ribbon. That's pretty much it!!

If you check out Barb's post, you might get a big chuckle! Remember my 4 year old's Cool Club that she created? Well Barb offered up her services as Treasurer of the club. After a long and lengthy debate between my daughter and I, we deemed she was worthy. Afterall, she will have to handle a LOT of money from dues for all the cool people in the world - you know? Anyway, check out her post -- tooooo cute!!!
