Good morning my sweet blogging friends.
Oh, how I have been enjoying this warm weather we are having here in CA.
It was a sunny 80 degrees today, but that's not going to last long. There is rain in the forecast. ;(
Well today at SweetStamps, we have a new challenge for you and I know you will love it.

Lace and Pearls

I LOVE this card!! I really, really do. This was my first time making a criss cross card and I don't know why I never thought of doing one before. It really adds a lot of fanciness to a card. The final card itself measures 6x6. The cardstock I used is from Bazzill Basics and the patterned paper is from Prima: Zephyr.
I love all the beautiful bright and bold floral prints in this pack, it really worked well with Lady Flower image, which was colored with my distress markers, on watercolored paper. The lace came from the stash box. The cluster of flowers were all created using Cheery Lynn Design Dies. The tab on the insert is the sentiment tag, but I folded it over and placed a pearl on it. You have to excuse me though. I didn't see that the pearl had slipped until I started writing this post. :)
This is the inside of the card, once you remove it from the envelope card.
So I hope to see you this week at SweetStamps.
