While blog surfing awhile back, I came across this card layout (can't remember now what blog I was visiting) and thought it would look great with the Sending Love Specialty DSP from the Occasions mini catalog, and the Beautiful Wings Embosslits die for the Sizzix Big-Shot, also from the Occasions mini. I used the Circle Scissor Plus to cut the circle out of the designer paper. The butterflies are cut from Pretty In Pink card stock. Happy Easter was stamped from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set onto Very Vanilla card stock and punched using the Modern Label punch. The final touch was spritzing over the finished card using a mixture of Frost White Shimmer paint and liquid hand sanitizer. Thanks for stopping by.

I wanted to be able to share this really cool idea with my stamp club ladies, but knew it wouldn't be feasible doing it the exact same way as what was presented. She used the flower petals to go around the treat cup, and each one has to be stamped individually, taking a great deal of time per person to accomplish. Anyway, using the gum-ball machine stamp works very well. And although the card still took a decent amount of time to make, it was a big hit.
