Back to Balmy Blue

Very cool - Back to Basics #23 has a fun tic-tac-toe grid for us this week!  Bingo!
I finally settled on the Pearls-Flowers-Blue column - this was a tough one for me!  I'm still loving up neglected stamps here, too, so out came my gorgeous Enjoy Life set.  I love these little floral viney things - that's what I'm using for my Balmy Blue flowers, anyway!  I used this two part sentiment for the first time, too, and decided on a two-tone with Soft Suede - I think they go great together!  I decided to use the tiny butterfly in this set to add some detail, which also helped me get the pearls rolling - no naked butterflies!  I did take a tiny shortcut by punching out with my 1/2" Circle Punch - extra border, lol!
