CR84FN16

Hi bloggies! It's almost Monday, and before the weekend is finally done I wanted to post this card for the color challenge over at CR84FN. I was at AC Moore this afternoon and I found these gorgeous metal accents that were perfect for the color combination. Here's the inspiration photo for this week's challenge CR84FN16.



The metal accent is from the Tim Holtz collection. Isn't it gorgeous?! I stamped a flourish block from WMS Victorian Frippery on the bottom of a light gray cardstock. Then I adhered the patterned paper panel and stitched it above the stamped image. The flowers are from W9Plus, I stamped them on vintage cream and pink blush cardstock and I paper pieced them. The sentiment is from PTI. I adhered the lace and tied the ribbon. Then I attached the metal ornament in the center. It's actually pretty heavy, so if I were to send this card, it would probably cost more. But then again, I'm sure the recipient would love the embellishment.  


Thanks for stopping by! I'll see you all again tomorrow! Enjoy! :)
