I surprised myself a little with this card. Usually I like to keep the shades of cardstock exactly alike, but for this one I departed from that a little. I decided that because of the nature of the hessian, I would use an ivory card base, but then I used white for the daisies, so I continued with the mix and used a creamy shade for the lace but stuck to the white for the vellum tendrils and the sentiment panel. I think it works!
I used the inspiration from Just US Girls
It was Cecile's choice and I just love her work... I also love daisies and hessian... so it was a real winner with me.
This week we'll be welcoming a new washing machine and a new sitting room carpet, so I'm going to have to get busy moving furniture... not exactly my favourite task, but hopefully the end result will be worth it!
Really like this card, it calls to the eye and I find myself really looking at it. Just beautiful in its apparent simplicity. Thank you so much for sharing.
