I am so gonna make more of these little cuties!! :) The hearts are done using some glimmer mist paper I made up with some of my new colors (this is my new addiction.. making fun paper and cutting shapes! LOL!) Used some BG (bittersweet from last year) and of course PTI.. ribbon, and stamp! I am LOVING my Tim Holtz ~ Antique Linen distress ink.. must order a refill! LOL!! Using it on EVERYTHING it seems! and of course PEARLS! Colored with my copics to match!! :)

Next is a little baby card for my cousin.. they just had a little girl.. NOW I had another idea in mind.. but it didnt look the way I had hoped so I SWITCHED to this.. and was happy I did.. again using PTI!!!


LOVE the button sets.. and my spica pens.. I WISH you could see them in the photograph.. they add such a nice little touch of sparkle!! (just and FYI for PTI fans.. the green (mint I believe) in set 2.. looks FABULOUS with spring moss ink! :) Lots more Antique Linen on this!! and PEARLS.. I think I use those on 90% of my cards..
