Pretty, I know! Getting them to look pretty on paper....MAJOR mental block for me. I finally came up with a clean and simple style using Inque Boutique's French Quarter stamp set that I just HAD to have months ago.

All five colors are represented...no more, no less! And my latest commitment is to make matching envelopes. I'm on a quest to sell my cards, and I think a matching envelope just makes the card more "polished." Yes?? Want to buy?? YES!! :) Feel free to email me or leave a comment and we can work this sale out! LOL!
I stamped the the circular flourishes with chocolate chip craft ink on chocolate chip cardstock and then embossed it with clear embossing powder. I wanted just a hint of color on the chocolate, so I placed the tiny turquoise rhinestones (Amuse microdots) on each of the flower ends. I then used my Lots of Tags die from Stampin' Up on whisper white cardstock and then stamped the matching flower with both Real Red and Summer Sun marker. I added a large yellow rhinestone to the center of the flowers. I adhered the tag onto Tempting Turquoise cardstock and then cut out the border "free-handed" style.
