We deserve some beauty...

The devastation is terrible and none of us can see the pictures of the results of Sandy without having our heart ache.  I thought we needed a little beauty in our lives today and I choose this beautiful card that my friend, Julia, sent me.  Isn't it lovely?

Julia used Stampin' Up!'s stamp, Hello, Doily, for the background of her card.  It is embossed using Whisper White embossing powder.  The stamped focus point of the card is from the stamp set, Apothecary Art.  It is stamped in Basic Black and colored in with markers.  It is cut out using the Labels Collection Framelits.  Julia added pearls to the center of the flowers.

I think that Stampin' Up! had a busy day yesterday ~ the Spooktacular Stamp Sale was successful.  I want to thank all of you who ordered and hope that you will enjoy your new stamp sets.  Don't forget that you can choose sample cards from my collection as a gift for your order.  And, have a beautiful day!
