- Fabulous Florets! The “Floret” stamps from Fabulous Florets were inked with VersaMark and stamped onto Whisper White. They were then heat embossed with the new Melon Mambo Stampin’ Emboss Powder. Melon Mambo and Daffodil Delight inks were applied using Sponge Daubers. As for the leaves, they were heat embossed with Wild Wasabi Stampin’ Emboss Powder and sponged with Wild Wasabi ink.
- Glitter! You can become a glitter guru, too! It is so easy to apply Dazzling Diamonds using the 2-Way Glue Pen. Simply coat the surface using the built-in applicator tip, sprinkle with glitter, and shake off the excess. As you can see, the results are just “dazzling”!
- It don’t mean a thing, if it ain’t got that bling! And what better way to bling it on than by using Basic Rhinestones. They are just perfect for the Pacific Point “Butterfly” from Strength and Hope.
- Simple sentiment! I felt the “Thinking of You” sentiment from On the Grow needed a little matting assistance. Enter the Cog Punch and the 3/4″ x 15/16″ Oval Punch. A small Pacific Point cog was layered onto a Melon Mambo oval, and accented with Basic Rhinestones.

It’s beautiful! I especially like the DS paper, the butterfly, and the rhinestones around the sentiment. I can’t wait to hear from the twins.
Fresh, Fabulous and summery! I love the sparkles. I’ll have to include more of those on my cards!
Hallo Ann,
I only can say one word: breathtaking.
hugs and smiles Conny
Very pretty!!!
Do you ever sell your cards to your blogger friends? [insert big hint]
If so, how do we go about seeing what is for sale and buying them.
Love your blog. I always look forward to seeing what you do. You are definitely a fav!!
Olivia
I just knew it would be a wow card, but WOW!!!! Those flowers are just to pretty. I wish I could see the real thing, I know it would be breathtaking…

I love those embossed and glittered flowers. They really make the card. And the colors are so nice together.
Wow,Ann! I would definitely say,”Mission accomplished!” This is glittery and summery and gorgeous. It makes my girly girl heart sing:-)Thanks for sharing.
Inky hugs,
Janet
Ann, there is SO much sparkly goodness on this card, I don’t even know where to begin. I love the color combo and you paired that DSP together beautifully. I love the way you ramed the sentiment, too. Very cool look! Absolutely dazzing, in every way! Hugs! 🙂
Beautiful. The color choices are terrific. Another work of art!!!
so beautiful, love the color combination and the design. The bling and sparkle are so fun.
Awesome Ann and you did accomplish the fresh and summery look. I love how you embossed and then sponged the colours on the flowers and the leave. Glad to hear the sun came out for you yesterday.
Very shimmery and summery! Love the details. Cog punch??? Gotta go back and check that out. I was wondering what all you would try with the new colors of embossing powders. I think I might just have to try them too. The DD brings the flowers out against the papers – amazing how that worked. Loved the butterfly detail. I would have probably not tried so many bold moves – but it all works wonderfully when you do it! Great job.

Great card. I like the colors on both examples of flowers. I am partial to the more muted ones with dazzling diamonds.
Oh very beautiful Ann! I love the pearls up the butterfly and how the sparkles change depending on the pic! I love the texture on the circle behind all the action…and this 3 section of the last 2 cards…stunning! xox
Couldn’t wait until this morning to see the full reveal. Breathtaking summery card with all the glitz and bling. Way to go, Ann! Kathy in AZ
Fresh and summery, yes!! Beautiful! Great colors, LOVE the sparkle!
Such a beautiful card. All the elements you put together really came together to create that summer feel. Thanks for sharing your talents with all your readers.
This is definitely the perfect “summer” combination! It has all the glitz and glamour of the season. I have the DSP and the stamp sets. Now I just need the time to create with them – oh well, not until after my wedding! In the meantime, thanks for providing such excellent inspiration!
Don’t you just LOVE DD glitter. It is the only glitter I use. I can imagine how eye popping these flowers are in real life. Another stunner by Ann! 🙂 Thanks for blessing my day. 🙂
Those flowers are sparkle-icious! Love how they turned out – beautiful!
I surprise myself by liking these bright colors you put together. I typically am not drawn to ‘bright’. This has a definite summer feel to it, and you’ve put so much work into it. Beautiful!
Lovin’ that bling! The glitter is amazing too!! 🙂
Definitely fresh & summery. The flowers are gorgeous. Love the colors and sparkle.
Ann this card is WOW! Love the summery feel for sure! Fabulous Florets is one of my FAVS this year and it looks great in any color. Of course you have a gift at matching colors so beautifully that others would not think of. To finish you have also have the perfect bling to accent.
Can’t wait to play along. Hugs
Love this color combination, just beautiful and so striking! I love what you’ve done with the flowers, this set and that DSP is on my have-to-have list from the Summer Mini and now the embossing powder is going on there too! Love all the sparkle and bling, you have definitely created a fresh and summery card! Hope the Twins are doing well, I’m sure they miss their Mom!
I think your card is “Dazzling” and it is summery with the flowers and butterfly!
I love how you used the DSP.
Hugs,
Yvonne
Beautiful and luv them flowers and gorgeous buttfly to boot.
ColleenB.
Gorgeous! Beautiful coloring on the flowers and love the sparkles. Love the contrast. Sometimes flowers get lost in the dsp, but not these. Wonderful!
beautiful, i´m in love of your card, 🙂
This IS fresh and summery! I love it! I found that DSP a little intimidating but you have made me rethink it! The flowers are fabulous with the glitter and the butterfly with the glam is perfect as always! You are such an amazing artist!
Hugs,
Lesley
Wow! What a cool color combination you ended up with; I would have never thought about pairing those! I love how bright and glittery it is.
Very crisp, Ann, love the frosted look the Dazzling Diamonds give the flowers. The DSP provides a striking background for the Fabulous Florets. Must get that wonderful butterfly! Hope the Boxer Twins have a great week-end, I am sure they will bring home more awards and stories for Mom! Hugs, Pauline
