    This is a level 3 set called Happiness Always. I used a new color combo that I saw in a new catty sneak peek.

    with Dazzling Diamonds to flower centers. Pierced all around edges which is hard to see in picture.

    so I had to make it into a winter card. Fine SU glitter in image (with Heat & Stick powder),

    was stamped with the Stitched background and mounted to Taken With Teal card base.
