For You

Good morning! Are you ready for spring yet? I sure am! And I find my creative thoughts turning to pinks, cabbage roses and lacy white doilies... Not a finer combo anywhere!!!

Today's card is definitely a shabby design. I even used some roughed up card board for matting! But oh, how fun that was!

And here it is...



The base is white card stock with a mat layer of plain card board that I tugged at one corner until I had two pieces. I then added some DP (K & Company) strips on top that had been distressed and inked. A strip of floral DP by Webster's Pages is nestled under a Wilton doily. The foliage is from a Cheery Lynn Designs die and is nestled under a bargain bin Jolee's flower find. Another CLD butterfly die is nestled at the bottom right above my sentiment. The sentiment (Verve's Great Friend set) was stamped in black. Very shabby, very fun and I was able to use some cool stamps I won recently at a Mojo Monday sketch challenge! Thanks for visiting and until next time...

Blessings....
