Simple Rose Card

Here's another card I created using the Floral Lane collection from Pebbles...what a fabulous collection!
There are so many great colors in the collection and great patterns...of course there are plenty of fun florals, but also great basic patterns like this ledger print:


I added some washi tape, lace, a few simple flourish pieces, some burlap string, and topped it off with a ribbon rose.


Thanks for stopping by today - have a fabulous day!

Cardstock: Kraft Outlet (Paper Bag Kraft);

Floral Lane

This card uses papers from the fabulous Pebbles, Inc. collection - Floral Lane.
I wanted to mimic the fun flowers on the "A Little Hello" paper, so I used the die cut doily and rose ribbon to continue the look.


The rose ribbon was misted with Perfect Pearls mist to give it a little hint of color (it was originally an ivory color).
And of course I had to top it all off with some Maya Road stick pins and twine from The Twinery!


Have a wonderful day!

Supplies:
Patterned Paper: Pebbles (Floral Lane);
Mists: Ranger (Perfect Pearls Mists - Turquoise);
Twine: The Twinery (Caribbean);
Ribbon: American Crafts (Rose Ribbon - Ivory);
Dies: Spellbinders (Floral Doily Motifs);
Other: Maya Road (Pearl Stick Pin, Gem Stick Pin); Wooden button;
Tools: Fiskars (Trimmer, Scissors); Martha Stewart/EK Success (Scoring Board);

Splendid {The Twinery}

{Looking for my GIVEAWAY? Look here.}


I just can't stop playing with the new Buttercream twine from The Twinery!
Here's another card I created (paired with papers from the Splendid collection from Authentique):


To add a little something extra I punched out some stars from plastic packaging. (I chose stars because of the stars that are on the bingo card piece of patterned paper.) I think it adds a fun touch without overtaking the card.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Supplies:
Cardstock: Kraft Outlet (Ivory);
Patterned Paper: Authentique (Splendid 6x6);
Twine: The Twinery (Buttercream);
Ribbon: American Crafts (Rose Ribbon - Ivory);
