Behind Door #1, is the card that kinda came out of the Inspiration Challenge. I say kinda because while I loved the intricate patterns of the French Bull plates, I couldn't find a pattern I could do justice. This happens a lot for me.
The background image is the vine from PTI's With Sympathy and it's stamped in Palette Noir ink. I highlighted some of the leaves with a white Prismacolor pencil.The image is also from With Sympathy and is stamped in Gable Green and Lavender Lace inks on Cryogen white cardstock (Shimmer.) The sentiment is from Out on a Limb Sentiments (also PTI) and is stamped in Palette Noir.

I have to say my favorite embellishment is ribbon, with dazzling diamonds glitter a close second. They're so quick and easy to use on a card. :)

Congrats on your 10,000 visits! I honestly cannot pick just one favorite embellishment, so my top picks are: flowers and bling (pearls/rhinestones/glitter) for girl cards and dew drops/brads for boy cards.
Congrats on a big deal and reaching that milestone! My favorite seems to be buttons followed by gems. I love the way just that little extra embellishment really make it WOW!
Congrats on reaching 10K, Sara. I like both of the cards on your Sunday posts - you have a knack with color combinations. I like the empty spaces around the flourishes too.
My favorite embellishments are ribbons and pearls. But whatever embellishment I chose, htey are usually way out of proportion to what's goiong on in the design. I think that's the whimsey in me coming out! LOL
Have a great week! What's left of it! ! ! Hope you thaw out some . . .
wow Sarah congrats on 10K,
Would it be okay with you If I posted a link to your blog candy on my blog....I think I will...I dont get alot of lookers but I get a few regulars. I'll post a card tomorrow!
My favorite all time embellishment are the BRads...love them and I really like when I have the perfect brad for a card...
Congrats Sara on your 10K hits! That is quite an accomplishment.
I would have to say my go to embellishment is always ribbon. I just can't get enough of it!
I think ribbon is my go-to embellie...I use it on nearly every project...but I use a lot of rhinestones, too...so it's a toss up.
Congrats on 10k!
Ribbon is a MUST on most every card. Great blog candy, love your blog.
Congrats on reaching 10K hits!! I love to use ribbon on my cards. I really like to use brads too, but I use more ribbon.
Congratulations on reaching 10,000 hits! I use flowers and different shapes and colors of brads the most.. cause brads are so easy to use! And I use ribbon, more as bows than lengths of ribbon.
