This is not my usual style, but I liked the soft vintage feel of this card.  We Natural Composition Designer Series Paper comes embossed and we just colored it in with soft watercolor pencils.  The punched bird fits right in, the Scalloped Tulle Ribbon adds softness, and the Vintage Faceted button adds a touch of bling.  I used it as a Thank You card, but it certainly can be used as a birthday, wedding, or even sympathy card.

I stamped the message with White Stazon ink on the die cut Window Sheet then dipped the edges into the stamp pad for the border.  I wanted to raise the Window Sheet and Dimensionals would show.  I used the clear buttons for the same pop and covered the adhesive with rhinestones.  I had never used Heat & Stick and I think it worked great to add Dazzling Diamonds to the Night of Navy card stock.  I was quite proud to take this card as a swap for the Stampin’ Up! Convention.

Quint-Essential Flower Card 6-9-12

This stamp has 5 concentric designs, each with a matching punch.  Stamp it five times, punch with different punches, and you have a fabulous focal point for this card.  I used this card to introduce the new 2012-2014 In Colors, so we stamps in Midnight muse on all 5 new colors then used the Dahlia Adornments in the center.  I love the way the Delicate Designs embossing folder repeats the circular patterns.  We stamped Thank You on this card, but it is really open-ended the way you use it.
