Cream and Ivory...

Today's card is a true monochromatic little number, with lots of texture from embossing folders, and lots of lacy touches from the edge punch and braided lace across the front. Three different embossing folders were used to make the textured sections across the front...




The side view makes it a bit easier to see the lacy punched edge detail...





The largest rose in the cluster is made using Spellbinders' Rose Creations dies...the smaller flowers are pre-made, but I was pleasantly surprised to see how perfectly they matched...




It's no secret I love using memo pins for sentiment tags...makes it easy when I change my mind and want to use the card for a different occasion...just swap out the tag...plus, it's fun to "gussy up" the memo pins...


Supplies:
Edge punch:   Martha Stewart Embroidery Deep Edge
Embossing folders:   Cuttlebug Polka Dots, Kassies Brocade, Modern Wallpaper
Dies:   Spellbinders Rose Creations;   Spellbinders Floral Flourishes;   Sizzix Flowers Branches & Leaves
Small paper roses:   Wild Orchid Crafts          Stamens:   ChocolateLetters on Etsy
Pearls:   Recollections          Tim Holtz Memo Pin (embellished and painted)



Thanks for visiting today!
