Gorgeous!
And here's my girly card!
I've used some pretty Melissa Frances 5th Avenue papers, and sewed them onto some distressed pink paper from Craftwork Cards.
The using Papertrey Ink's Mat Stack 1, I stamped and cut the elegant sentiment, and layered onto a scalloped circle stamped with the border design from Waltzingmouse Stamps Victorian Frippery set.
Then layered some blue velvet ribbon with some crochet lace, and added some pink velvet ric-rac underneath the label, all from The Ribbon Reel shop.
Finally added some cream and pale blue cherry blossoms layered with some cream loop trim, all from The Ribbon Reel. I had to top the sentiment label with my favourite bling - Prima Say it in Crystals.
And as it's the 5th Anniversary for Papertrey Ink, I thought I would share this card at their Celebrations today. Betsy Veldman is an inspiration with her clever use of colour, pattern and texture, and I've been following her blog for a long time now.
My card is predominantly Sentiment based, and with that elegant frame from Mat Stack 1, it doesn't need too much embellishing!
