Hey everybody. I don't know how I even finished this tonight, but here I am. Photobucket wouldn't save my signature on my card. Well, with the new computer, I found I have my own photo editing software....yippee. I like it to. Only thing I have to find out how to put the text on my picture. I achieved this one with Gimp-which I love too-but it will take me 5 years to learn everything it can do...lolToday my card is a tent topper. This is my first one. Splitcoast Stampers has a tutorial if you interested, but I kinda did my own thing. My car measures 5-1/4" x 5-3/4". I didn't follow any particular pattern, I just went with the proportions I liked.
My image is from Fred She Said and is the Fall Aster. It can be found in the fall flower collection here. The color of the Aster is so awesome. I used Spellbinders Scalloped, Round, and Doily Motif Nesties. There are several layers on my medallion. I punched three rows of border with an EK Success border punch. The butterflies are a Martha Stewart Punch. Lots of pearls, ribbon, and some stick pins for embellishment.
Looking forward to a craft filled weekend. Hope you have a great weekend too!

Gorgeous, Carol! Quick question... where do you buy the rubber ends for your pins? I have the stick pins but not the ends. Would earring backs work?
