Hello everybody, I'm sure you can see the change from pink to tan here on my blog, I thought having the same look for four years, a much needed makeover was due. I took the plunge and changed it completely, I wish I could take the credit for making the changes you see here, but I wouldn't have a clue where to start. I did the next best thing and talked to a very good friend, and she did it for me. Thank you, thank you, thank you...
Here is another card I made using images from Crafty Secrets Love Mail Creative Scraps. The card base was cut/embossed using Spellbinders Grand Squares #4, then layered with pink and vanilla cardstock, cut/embossed with Grand Labels One #3. I embossed the vanilla cardstock with the Swiss Dots folder, then used three different colors of acrylic paint dabbers on the vanilla cardstock to brighten it a bit, and match the pinks in the images. I cut/embossed the Fleur de Lis Doily Motifs die template, then used the Standard Circles Small Nestabilities #5 to cut out the center of the Doily, using the acrylic dabbers to match card base. Add ribbon, pearls and Stickles.
Thanks for visiting today - Linda
