Now for today’s project.

I fell in love with the floral images, from Melanie's Stately Flowers 5 set, the minute I saw them.  It was the Sunflower that caught my attention first since it's my favorite flower.  However, when I saw the mistletoe image I about swooned.  :)  It's beautiful and charming, and unique.  I couldn't wait to feature it on a card.  The sentiments are so beautifully fonted in this set too, perfect for each floral image.  I chose to use the Merry Christmas image.

There's a lot of sparkle on this card.  I added it to the diecut, embossed and punched pieces, as well as to the white berries that I covered with an opaque white gel pen.  The mistletoe leaves were colored with Copics.

That about sums up what I was inspired to create today.  I'm honored to be hopping along with some very talented ladies today.

Here is the complete list of Melanie’s  guest star stampers today:
