There have quite a few , "How'd you do that?" questions about this card, which was inspired by a SCS color challenge to use

Basic Gray
Pink Pirouette
Pretty Pink

I also decided to make it a Clean and Simple (CAS) card.

I used MDS and dragged the Basic Gray Background paper onto the Card template; then I added a square punch, resized it then color filled it with Pretty in Pink; added another square punch, color filled it with Basic Gray, resized it, added another square punch color filled it with Pirouette Pink and resized it. Once my layers of paper are in place I added a drop shadow to give it depth.

I used the Bordering on Romance Stamped Brushed Set Digital Download (125619 Price $3.95) I dragged the Border image onto the workspace, and then used the change color tool, selecting Pirouette Pink, added a drop shadow; copied and pasted the image off-setting it from the first one. I then selected both images and copied and pasted them moving the second set to repeat the first set of two. I then selected all four borders and grouped them.

The next step is to add a Grosgrain Ribbon, and a Grosgrain Knot, group these as one unit. Adjust the group over the top of the boarder images.

For the main image, I dragged the bundle of flowers on to the punched papers, used the Change Color Tool and chose Pretty in Pink, add a Drop Shadow. Next select the image and the Layer of Pink Pirouette, Basic Gray Paper Punches and Group them. I added pearls from the Basic Pearls and Rhinestones Digital Downloads (124330 Price: $1.95) I added a drop shadow to these as well. I selected the pearls, along with the grouped image and punches Grouping them as one unit as well.

The final item is the Thinking of You stamp from the You are Loved Stamped Brushed Set Digital Download (129331 Price $7.95) I dragged this on to the project and then resized it and changed the color to Basic Gray.

Here are some Scrapbook pages I've been working on too

Here is the inspiration, for this Layout, I was able to re-size that fantastic Antique brad because I use MDS from Stampin' Up!

The theme was Circles, I used the Sweet Details dotted circles to make the bubble in the background. The flowers are also from Sweet Detail, same flower simply resized, The Rich Razzleberry was used not just for the outline, but also for the drop shadow, allowing it to fill in some of the flower.

These two pages were a Recipe challenge:
1 picture, 2 papers, 5 embellishments

Using Buttons, because I was working in MDS I was able to add a Baja Breeze Brad then group the So Saffron Button and the Brad together I was then able to copy resize them to place them around the punch with the sentiment from the SALE-A-BRATION set Sprinkled Expressions. The paper is Sweet Details and is included in the MDS 30 Day Free Trial Digital Download
