A very good friend of mine despises this gorgeous paper, so I thought I'd make her a pretty card for her collection. (Insert evil smile...) Another friend of ours also sent her a Bella Rose dsp card. Aren't we great friends?!
Anyway, I wanted a layout that would enable me to really show off this pretty paper, so I went with this old Sketch Challenge Forums at Splitcoaststampers. I also snagged an old Ways to Use It Challenge Forums at Splitcoaststampers and used my square punches to create the window. Oh yes, I also used this Color Challenge Forums at Splitcoaststampers.
Anyway, it's a Pink Pirouette card base with a layer of Bella Rose dsp. I opened up the window by punching it out with my 1 3/8" Square Punch. My sentiment is stamped with Basic Black ink onto Whisper White cs and punched out with my 1 1/4" Square Punch. It's layered with a Dimensional on a 1 3/8" Square of Riding Hood Red cs and adhered inside the card. For a finishing touch, I curled the corner by sentiment and added a flat-back pearl and then wrapped the card front with Riding Hood Red 5/8" Striped Grosgrain Ribbon.

Okay, okay...I give. Now that I have a card that was especially made for me with Bella Rose paper, I think I've decided I like it. Oh shoot...I can't get it any longer. LOL
