I based the colors for this card on WPlus9's color challenge this month! LOVE these colors! I remember when I was younger I had a gray and pink sweatsuit that I just loved to wear! Using these colors today brought back those warm & happy memories!
I also used a sketch for this card too because you know how much I love those! :) This one was from Get Sketchy and it was a fun one to work with!
I just adore these doily stamps from WPlus9 called Mehndi Medallions! They are so pretty!
For the lace, I stamped the lacey border image on black cardstock in VersaMark, embossed it in white and then cut it out. Yes, I did say I CUT it out!! You can pick your jaw up off the floor now! LOL!! I didn't even pass out from doing it! But, doesn't it look like real lace? Love it!
Fun, fun colors and a fun, fun sketch! Thank you for taking a peak today! I hope you have a great day!
