Elegant Flourish With Silver & White

I finally received my Stampin' Up order the other day. They tend to take a while to get here on the east coast so...when it arrived, I forgot what I ordered, LOL. It was like a mini Christmas since I knew that they were items I really, really wanted.

One of the stamps in my order was the Elizabeth flourish, which is a set of 1. Of course I HAD to use it right way, it is so very pretty. (my husband can not accuse me of buying a stamp and never using it that way, ha ha ha)

This stamp is so lovely, I decided it deserved to be the center of an elegant card. I am not sure what is more elegant than the Silver and White combo, I love the clean and sparkly look to it. The paper is the White Diamond from Paper Temptress. This is my turn to paper whenever I want a beautiful shimmer and clean look.

The pearls are the new Stampin' Up self adhesive pearls. YUP, these were in my order too. They have become one of my "must put on every order items along with the dimensionals. My next order I am going to include the self adhesive gems. My demo, who does not like bling at all, said she loves them and finds that she is using them all the time! Got to place my order soon, tee he he

The Tuesday Throwdown challenge this week is "ribbon with a twist", which means to use it in a not so normal way. That gave me the idea to use it for the corners. This ribbon is part of the Paper Temptress clearance that is going on right now. All ribbons and lace is 40% off until it is gone. Then she is going to bring in ribbon from a new distributor. How exciting! Patricia always brings the absolute best into here store, so I am sure it will be more than stunning.

Sorry about this picture being so red. The sun came out at just the wrong time and no matter what I did with PSE or Windows Picture Manager, I just could not get rid of it :o(

Challenges I am entering this card in:
Aud Sentiments Challenge; Use the exact words "Best Wishes"
Crafty Creations: White plus one
Cute Card Thursday: Use any material (lace or flowers can be used)
Pink Elephant: Favorite color with favorite embellishment (The white card stock is my favorite especially with silver. My favorite embellishment is to use flowers)

Well, I am heading for my craft room...I get the next 4 days off of babysitting Camden, so I want to make sure to get plenty of crafting done, yeah!
