CLEAN and PRETTY CARD

While it does have several embellishments, it does not have many layers to I consider this one a simple card.

 I used baja blue for the card base, and the two small layers are crumb cake and island indigo.

 I LOVE these doilies we have in the summer catalog.  What a great price too!! Only $2.95 for 25 doilies.  And sometimes I cut them in half when I use them.



These buttons are rich razzleberry and baja breeze with reversed color bakers twines tied in them.  They were free during Sale-a-Bration and I have used them for so many projects.  The lace at the top is antique lace and I think it ties the crumb cake layer in well, don't you?  Did you notice the cute edgelet I used along the crumb cake layer?  So simple and such a nice impact!!

I used white embossing powder for the stamped image and then cut it out with the apothecary Accents framelets to cut it out.

Thanks for stopping by.  Won't you leave me a comment?

    I love how you have interpreted the sketch, with the soft brown panel on the side. That doily background piece is beautiful. Thanks for sharing with us at The Friday Mashup!
