I wanted to point out that I made the acrylic dots from pony beads. This is an easy process... your kids probably have a bag of pony beads in their play area. Stand the beads vertically on parchment paper and bake for 30 minutes @ 285°. Pony beads will melt into perfect little domes. There are a number of You Tube videos on the process. BTW if you bake the beads for a little longer, the beads will melt down further resembling the enamel dots available by many stamping companies.
Continuing with my New Year's resolution, I made 4 additional cards for donation. These cards will be donated to the First Presbyterian Women, an organization supporting and sharing with the congregation, friends, and guests; building faith, changing lives, and sharing christ.
Check out our fabulous guest designers as well as the rest of the design team. These ladies work hard to inspire you each week. Drop by their blogs and leave them a little love.
Enjoy! I am looking forward to your inspired creations in the gallery.

Oh my gosh.....little dots from pony beads, who would have thunk it? You're a clever girl! I love the big bold effect you created here...these will bring a big bold smile to the recipients as well!
Bold and beautiful! Love those big, bright flowers, while the textured background adds depth to the design. Like all your work, it's gorgeous. :-)
What a bright, happy hello for someone, sure to cheer up their day! The flowers and sentiment font kind of remind me of 60s pop art, but more sophisticated-looking on that beautiful background. Fabulous card, Elizabeth!
Elizabeth, thanks for taking me back to the flower power days! What a wonderful retro take on the challenge - it's retro but so now. Love it

Love these bright diecut flowers and diecut sentiment too - and get you, making your own enamel dots!!
What a FUN card, Elizabeth! I LOVE the bold blooms and large sentiment. The pony bead dots are awesome. What a great tip! I can't wait to try making them. Have a wonderful weekend!
Great pops of color on the fabulous CAS card, Elizabeth! That is a very nice-looking EF and adds just the right amount of interest to the bright daisies. Cheers, Jolanda
