Pretty in Pinks...

Hi again, everyone! Today's share is a shabby sweet card in one of my favorite "soft color" combos-rose pink and taupe...


Beautiful patterned papers from Maja Design's Vintage Summer Basics collection are still some of my favorites, so much so that I save all the smaller leftover pieces from other projects because I know I'll eventually use them on cards, such as this one! 

In the center of the florals, there are three cherry blossom flowers made with LaLa Land Crafts' die...they're surrounded with premade mulberry paper lilies and sweetheart blossoms from Wild Orchid Crafts. Those bunches of beautiful dark stamens peeking out from top and bottom of the cluster are from my go-to source for stamens, ChocolateLetters on Etsy...





The lace is a piece of cream lace dyed with Distress Inks to blend with the dusty pinks in the rest of the embellishments ("Spun Sugar" mixed with a bit of "Victorian Velvet" and just the littlest bit of "Picked Raspberry")...




The little die cut palm fronds branches are made using My Favorite Things' Wild Greenery die...it's another of my newest favorites...
