our challenge today is to make an elegant card, our choice of colors and design.
thanks Shirley for a fun challenge!
stamp and mask flourishes small lilac, colored with gamsol/prisma pencils. several leaves and the stem are cut out and mounted up. sponge old olive around the spellbinders octagon, and stamp french script onto the lace border piece, add a bow and we are good to go...
what do you think?
thanks so much for stopping by~it makes my day!
