Melanie's new set, Stately Flowers 4, has more FABULOUS and gorgeous flowers!!!  I googled Hibiscus and was just amazed at the sheer variety!!!  Pretty much every fun and bright color combination!!!  So I chose yellow and red....I definitely need to practice some more blending....but I enjoyed coloring a bright and cheery summer bloom!!  I used Gina's Red Carpet dp that matches beautifully with Pure Luxury Red Hot and Wild Dandelion.  Of course some ribbon and bling! LOL

Tami's created another adorable set, Ticket Trio!  I just love my pink of course!  So I used my favorite Pure Luxury Innocent Pink and my favorite design from the Petals & Wings dp.  I just popped up one of the tickets and sparkled up the little crown for a simple Happy Birthday card!

Now you'll want to hop along to see more fabulous inspiration...

~ Have A Creative Day! ~
