I went to my cardstock scrap pile first and pulled out two pieces of "Spring Rain" along with a strip of "Hibiscus Burst." Next up, was a visit to my drawer labeled "die cuts" - this is where I keep my bits and pieces of things that don't make it on a scrapbook page, card or whatever paper design I'm working with. That's where I found the punched border and small white flowers.
Adding some American Crafts striped ribbon, stamped images from "Turning a New Leaf" and "Floral Fusion" along with a matching button and my favorite twine, here's what I put together:
The gems were actually added to cover up a design flaw, but I really think they added to the card. I originally wanted to weave the sentiment strip on the front of the card, but didn't like the way it looked so, I improvised and added the gems. Here's a closer look:
Thanks for taking a look!

Very pretty and the gems are delightful - you should never have said they were covering up a mistake!!! I thought you were just bringing attention to the sentiment!!!
Very pretty card...love all the details..and the "pop" of color!
Some of the most beautiful creations start out as "mistakes"...case in point, this wonderful card!
