Elegant Bouquet Cards

Hello Everyone,

I wanted to post this yesterday but other things got in first and never got around to posting and earlier today my computer crashed along with the internet service.  Thank goodness I have a very handy man husband who can fix almost anything (smiling).  Let me clarify that he can fix almost anything that is mechanical related from computer, software and hardware; car - he never let anyone other mechanic touches our cars except during car inspection. He fixed houses. I did fix houses with him.   Sssh! don't tell him that I am bragging about him.

Well, this is suppose to be some quick cards but I played around with the Stampin" pastel chalk so these cards took a little more time to make.
Here was how I created these cards.  First, I brayed the debossed side of the embossing folder.  Place whisper white card stock in the folder and then ran it through the big shot.
 
Then I used Q-tip to pick up the chalk and colored the flowers.
  
After I colored the flowers, I felt that the cards still needed something.  I tried the rhinestone and love it!  I bought these rhinestone from Joann Fabric.  It was a 1 lb. bag.  Do you know how many rhinestone there are?  Too many to count.  I was very happy with the purchased.  I don't need to buy rhinestone for a LONG time!  Oh, they came in different sizes.
  
 These two cards I used vellum.  I didn't really like them because after I colored the chalk came off and smeared the cards.
 

Hope you've enjoyed today post.
