Happy Saturday, everyone! It's a sunny but cool day here in Indiana....a good day to spend in my stamp room...yay!!! I was so happy to be able to play in some challenges for this card, which I will be sending to a dear friend for her birthday this week!


Here are the challenges incorporated into this card:

Our Daily Bread designs Shining The Light Challenge: Something Old and Something New: something old is the SEI pattern paper, something new is the Flower Soft Topper and stamps;
The Inspiration Challenge at Splitcoast is to choose an item from "Close To My Art".....there were several items which inspired me....teapots with flowers, floral clocks, and the cutest pink pig.....after a minutes of looking around, I knew I had to break out the Flower Soft toppers with teacups that I haven't used yet;
The Ways To Use It Challenge at Splitcoast is to use your favorite things: Glimmer Mist, Flower Soft, paper piercing, exacto knife, Zva Creative pearls, and the color PINK!;
