To Have and to Hold...

Hello Peeps !!!

Happy Sunday !!!

I finally got the chance to make this special card that seems to be on a lot of blogs lately. My friend Vicki asked me to make her a card that pops using the Tiffany colors, so I kept it in my design. I used vellum for the flowers, Pool Party Colors and Whisper White cardstock. It is hard to see but I did use the Quatrefancy window sheet.  Hope you like it.

Hello Peeps !!!

Happy Saturday !!!

I just love this beautiful card that I saw on Pinterest and I know I just have to case it. At least that was my intention when I started my card but I wasn't quite sure how she was able to fit the big framelit on her card, but my framelit seems to be too big, so I just ended up making a few alterations on mine.
Since I do not have the DSP that she used, I just used the In Color DSP for my background, placed the needlepoint border EF( retiring) on the side. I stamped the image, adding another leaf and just stamped and placed the sentiment below. I used the Gumball Green ribbon (retiring) and pearls for my embellishments.

RECIPE:
Stamps:  Peaceful Petals, Petite Pairs
Paper:  Pool Party, Gumball Green, Island Indigo, Whisper White, In Color DSP
Ink:  Black, Pool Party, Gumball Green
Accessories: stitched gumball green ribbon, pearls
Tools:  circle framelits, labels collection, needlepoint border EF, dimensionals
