The focal pieces are digital stamps by Chris Stern at CS Designs. I'm not sure if they're still available, since they're from her 2005 Florets set. I used SU Stampin' Write markers and Twinkling H20's to color them, and made an attempt at Spirelli technique with sewing thread. I can't tell you how many times I unwound the thread on the large Floret before finally deciding that this was my attempt and I'm standing by it. Some things in life were intended to remain a mystery, and for me, Spirelli is one of them!

I think your "spirelli" turned out fabulous! Your sentiment is just perfect for how you designed your card! Love all the techniques you used, and besides the florets my fav is the torn edge!! Great artsy feel!

Kathleen, This is a great project with so many well though out features. Love how you have broken from tradition and done your sentiment reading from the side. You are always so clever and wonderfully inventive and this is a great use for my Florets. They make great Spirelli fill ins and your attempt rocks.
