Pretties Kit

I have been busting to use the pretties kit since I got my box of goodies last thursday but I just havn't been able to get to it. Last nite I sat down for the first time and had a play with the pretties kit..... and I 'm lovin it..... This card was inspired by a friend of mine who loves shabby chic.....(i think she has it in her bedroom, so when you are reading this you will no who you are). I started with white card stock and brushed around the edges with pretty in pink ink then mounted some of the new textured paper in pretty in pink (which I am also loving). Then I stuck with glue dots the large flower which i touched up with a sponge dauber and pretty in pink ink. I stuck a pearl in the middle of the flower and three down the bottom of the card. I faux stitched around the white cardstock and stamped happy mothers day in pretty in pink. This stamp is out of the Occassional Greetings stamp set. Then I had some fun with the hat pin and some clear beads and pearls. Tada there you have it a beautiful mothers day card...... I hope you like it.....
