MDS Tuesday

Hello Peeps !!!

Happy Tuesday !!!

I miss quite a few birthdays this month, so I hope it's not too late to send them. I made this card using the MDS Beau Chateau Embellishments.  I did use the Creative Elements background  in Pool Party ink and added the DSP for the background.

Paper:  Very Vanilla, Soft Suede, Pool Party, In Color DSP
Ink:  Pool Party, Soft Suede, Lucky Limeade
Accessories:  ruffled ribbon, jumbo brad, lace
