Have you noticed all of the pennants and flags featured in the samples in the 2011-2012 Stampin' Up Idea Book & Catalog? Well, I decided to try my hand at making a card with the notched pennant accent. I am loving the color combo of Concord Crush and Wisteria Wonder, accented with Lucky Limeade! Once I had picked out the color scheme and stamp images, I knew that the card background needed something special to do the pennant and tag justice. So I got out my Big Shot and chose the Elegant Lines Textured Impressions Embossing Folder. Can you hear me "Oooooh" and "Aaaaah" as I looked at the result!?! I had seen others add the Basic Pearls to the small circle impressions. I couldn't believe how easy these embellishments were to work with and they really added the "PoP" I was looking for!

I think I'll probably send this card to my aunt in Florida for her birthday next month. She loves "purple" and the bird image on the tag looks like he would live down there.
