I didn't have time to make the Queen an elegant card on Teapot Tuesday, she wasn't impressed with her outhouse teapot that I took, so I am trying to get on her good side by making her this card. This also is for the TSC this week, to make an elegant card. I don't do well with elegant so this was a real challenge for me.
I saw this border on one of Becca's beautiful cards and loved it. You can see her card here: JustRite Birthday Wishes by Becca Stamps at Splitcoaststampers

So purty, so elegant, so far removed from the outhouse.
I love how you can do both so well. This card is great I love the pansies and the bling. Bling is alway elegant isn't it? TFS LYMI

I thought your outhouse card was elegant!! The grass outside the outhouse had been mowed. 'course dressing up for me means finding my good pair of jeans!! I really like the purple flowers and your decorative edge. You really did make an elegant card.
