For you, sweet sugarplum!

Hello, hello! I got a few new fun goodies in the mail this morning, so I made a card to share with you! I have to admit that I struggled with this card. I knew exactly what I wanted it to look like and it wound up looking nothing like that! LOL It's the color! I used Sweet Sugar plum and although it is an absolutely gorgeous color I had a really hard time working with it! Are you like that with any particular color? I tried several things, tweaked several things and tossed several things into the circular file never to be seen again! After a while I finally managed to pull something together that was pleased with! Here is the little guy:

This card has lots of shimmer to it! The ribbon is beautiful. It is a silver, glittery ribbon that gives off sparkle when you rotate the card! The sequins are silver and sweet sugar plum and I colored in the flower with Wink of Stella!

The fun thing about this card is that I created the background!! I used the new stencil masks from the holiday cattie to make those fun polka dots!! I sponged them onto a piece of Very Vanilla using Sweet sugar plum and a stamping sponge! Fun stuff, I tell ya!!
