Hello

This is my post at the Classy Cards 'n Such blog today
for our current challenge and using the
inspiration photo below!



Hello Classy Friends!
This week our challenge is to use a neutral palette.
We have a beautiful inspiration photo to get you started!

I decided to go with totally cream colors.
Using the inspiration photo for guidance,



I embossed a cream panel with
Darice Quilt Blocks embossing folder.
This has to be one of my most favorite folders to date!

Next I cut a heart from Spellbinders Lace Hearts.
To achieve the heart shown,
I used two hearts from the set, one inside the other,
then cut...pretty isn't it?


Next I cut Impression Obsession Bird On a Branch
from Authentique 6 x 6 paper pad Faith.
This pad has a beautiful collection of neutral papers.

I finished by adding a sentiment held by a tiny clothespin
and added a few gold Dew Drops.

Thank you for visiting with me today!

Entering the The Card Concept Classy and Elegant Style

Just beautiful, Diane! All pretty elements that work so well together. Love the bird on branch in the subtle designer paper, and you even added the clothespin! I was surprised to see Classy Cards is closing their doors, too. It's hard to keep a business going. Lots of work and competition. I just want everyone to be happy!

A beautiful card. I love all the different textures that your fabulous embossing folder adds to the background and the bird and heart dies are lovely. Having the mini clothes peg holding the sentiment is such a good idea and a wonderful interpretation of the inspiration photo. Thanks for joining us at Crafty Cardmakers. Sally.x.
