For my project I really didn't know what I was going to create, it just sort of came together. I first started with a sheet of Ruby Cardstock and used Versamark ink to randomly stamp the large bloom all over my the page. Next I took the Ultrafine White Embossing powder and poured it over where I had stamped. Next step is to heat set it. I goofed in a few spots so I cut my cardstock into these 5 1/4" by 2 1/2" pieces and added some patterned paper from La Rose En Vie, some Black Carstock matted onto the scalloped White Daisy Cardstock and layered them all onto my cardbase. I really wasn't sure which sentiment to choose, so I went with 3 and also heat set them in White Embossing. My final touch was to add these 2 medium sequins just to dress it up some.

I love how clean and simple this looks, but really it was a long and tedious process. Now if I were too recreate these it would be a breeze, as it is a simple project. It's always great to have a great finished project when you start out stumped.
