So you don't think I'm shellfish, I'll post 3 pictures of this card and the "recipe" after the pictures. Just in case you can't reed the sentiment it says "No trout about it...without you I would flounder!"

A Bevy of Dutch Beauties
This card uses not only the Dutch Girl paper, but the Dutch Girl die cuts as well. The ice cream Sunday was stamped from SU!'s Goody-goody Gum Drops set. I colored the Sunday in with markers, then covered the Sunday in glitter. I also adhered it to the tag with some pop-up dots to really make it stand out. The "Sweet Stuff" sentiment is a rub on from DCWV.
I hope these Dutch Beauties inspire you to go out and create (or at least go out and get an ice cream Sunday!).

A little of this, a little of that
Here are the other 3 frames from the set. I'm going to hang these in our bathroom after our trip to Italy in the fall. The frames say "faith", "hope", and "love" in Italian.
And a close up of the card so you can see the glitter. I used the stickles to outline the "wonderful" tag to mimic the glitter paper used for the tail of the peacock
Thanks for stopping by. I hope you all had a restful and blessed weekend!
