Still Playing with Paper!!

Morning All,
I wanted to share a card that I actually started a few days ago. Its great I can walk away and come back to it when I have a minute, not sure how long I'll be able to do that when the new member of the family arrives!! Anyway I had gone on over to Always Playing with Paper and they had a great sketch:

 

Here is what I came up with:

 

 

I used Raspberry Ripple as a base, with Basic Black and a layer of Primrose Petals Coordinations Cardstock that I had run through the stripped embossing folder. I decided to use the Betsy's Blooms as my stamp set and then the sentiment from the Simply Sketched hostess set. A little white Bakers Twine and I was done. Love the contrast! Have a great day!

Happy New Year's Eve!

Evening All,
I wanted to wish everyone a Happy New Year as we close out 2013 and welcome 2014! I had a little time to myself this afternoon and decided to prep one of my cards for my next club class. I wanted to use the new Co'redinations Cardstock. Here is what I came up with:

I wanted a card that was flexible enough to be used as a Valentine or any general occasion. The use of the Primrose Petals base and coordinating Co'redination Cardstock that comes in all of the colors made this project easy! After using the Apothecary Accents framelits I then ran it through the Lattice EF and sanded it. I used the Raspberry Ripple in-color and punched out the flower and used the En Frances in Versamark to coordinate with the background. A little "bling" in the center and I was done. Love this cardstock!
Have a Happy New year!
