Addicted to Stamps - recipe - 2 papers, 3 Flowers, 3 Half Pearls

This fortnight at Addicted to Stamps, we have a recipe challenge for you. 2 papers, 3 flowers, and 3 pearls. Easy right? That is also what I thought when I got started, but it posed to be a bit of a challenge for me. I had such a hard time limiting myself to only three flowers and only three pearls, it totally threw me for a loop! Although, I do LOVE the way my card came out, it was a challenge for me to get my mojo flowing. LOL!
I used some of my Prima Melody collection paper pack, which I LOVE. The colors are just gorgeous, love the palette that the stack has, one of my faves!! (Some of my fellow DT members say I have a knack for BOLD colors. WAVES ladies!!!) I chose to team it up with the adorable Magnolia stamp, Circus Horse. Although I HATE the circus (I am terrified of CLOWNS, uugghhhh), I think that this Horse is so stinkin cute. Looks to me more like a carousel horse than a circus horse to me anyway, at least that is what I tell myself so that I do not have nightmares. (true story!!! LOL)
I colored up this little horsey with copics:
Horse - C00, C1, R20, R00 0
Hair and hoofs - C9, C7, C5, C3
Saddle - E35, E33, E31, Y15, Y00, Y11
Colorful dress - BG72, BG70, BG10, BG11, R89, R85, R83
I added some lace and mint silk ribbon to my card. The flowers I used are by Color Me Crazy. I sprayed them with Denim, Lilly Pad, and Indian Corn Glimmer Mist to match the design paper. Then I added some pearl centers to the flowers and used my Doohickey leaf die to punch out some leaves/branches. The sentiment is from my Lili of the Valley Dreamy Days (my new FAVE) set, which I cut cut out with Standard Circle Nesties. I love it!!
I hope you will join us at Addicted to Stamps this week for our recipe challenge. I cant wait to see what you all create.

    What a great card! It seems like this little horse is going to jump off the card since you gave it so much life with your coloring.

    Thanks for playing with us at CCT this week!
