Good Morning!
I can't believe how quickly our Summer has been slipping by!! It's starting to get dark earlier which I hate! I like when it is light until 9, then I feel like I still have time to get things done!!! Oh well!! I did have a few minutes to make a card yesterday based on Julee's Mojo Monday sketch #97.
I was at Joann's the other day and saw the DCWV La Creme stack and fell in LOVE!!! Oh my gosh is it beautiful! I needed more paper like a hole in the head but could not pass it up! The base of this card is Whisper White with a mat of Basic Black. I then added a white Martha Stewart doily border on the bottom as well as under the image. The top and bottom DP is from the La Creme stack. The ribbon is black velvet and is from SU!
The image in the circle was actually cut from a flocked piece of DP in the same collection using my circle Nesties. I added clear rhinestones to the centers of the flowers and matted the image on a Basic Black circle. The sentiment and flourish are from Verve's Fairy Tale set and was stamped on Whisper White using Basic Black ink. I then punched it out using my large oval SU! punch and then matted it on a decorative frame which was cut from Basic Black using one of the Sizzlet Lots of Tags dies.
I made the decorative corner by using the doily punch on a scrap of Whisper White and then used my SU! photo corner punch, lined the large punch up so the scallops would be even and then punched. I layered a small black photo corner on top. I did have to trim the black photo corner on the ends so the doily scallops would peak through. I then punched a couple of Martha Stewart confetti hearts from Basic Black CS and then added black flock on top of both hearts. Here is a closer look ~
Hope you have a great day! I get to mow my lawn now!! LOL!!!
