Venetian Coffee...

Hello!

I had a rare quiet day today so I took the opportunity to play with a few challenges: the Card Concept 'coffee' theme, Color Throwdown combo and the sketch from Hand Stamped Sentiments...


I pulled out my Perfect Blend set and some Venetian Romance paper and went with a 'shabby chic' style for this one...


Here's the recipe:
Stamps: Perfect Blend
Ink: Early Espresso Pear Pizzazz
Paper: Venetian Romance dsp, Modern Medley dsp, Soft Sky core'dinations, Pear Pizzazz, Naturals Ivory, Early Espresso, Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla, Whisper White
Accessories: Burlap ribbon, pearls
Tools: Ovals framelits, distressing tool

Thanks for stopping by!

  2. Amy, this is just beautiful! I love all the mix of colors on your card. I wouldn't have thought to add the blue and green, so you have me thinking outside the box! Thanks so much for your inspiration.
