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.
