Retired but Love

Hello Peeps !!!

Happy Friday !!!

I made this card for my Etsy store using an old stamp set. I layered the main image using framelits and also used the paper doily for my background. It needed a bit of embellishment in the bottom, so I used the designer button to hold the ribbon that I criss cross. Hope you like it.

RECIPE:
Stamps:  Older and Wiser
Paper:  Calypso Coral, Coastal Cabana, Whisper White, DSP
Ink: Coastal Cabana, Calypso Coral
Accessories:  designer button, brad, ribbon, paper doily
Tools:  Big Shot, framelits, circle punch, stripes EF
