I made this card as part of a set, but it didnt really work with the others, so I'll let it stand alone. I sponged the background die cut circle with distress ink, then stamped the leaves and the greeting. (For the leaves: ink the lighter green onto the stamp, then touch a darker green ink pad around the edges.)
Layered onto the lacy circle frame and card front, added the pearls. Pretty easy and quick really.

Gorgeous and I always enjoy seeing your work with color! The shading on the stamped leaves- not sure how you did that but it sure does look beautiful. What a wonderful card for any occasion! Love it!

What an elegant card, Cindy! I LOVE how you've used the PTI leaf image, sponged it, and added the sentiment. But the Lace circle frame with pearls is what makes it really to striking! What a beautiful card! I LOVE it! (Pinning it!!)
