A Little Romance

Good morning and happy Friday to you all!  I am so happy that I got to "play" a bit in my craft room.  For one night I didn't do any DT projects, and it just felt good to just goof around and experiment a bit.  This week I saw the Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger and knew I had to play along.

It is totally up my alley.

Lace. Soft pastels. Vintage. Love it.

When I first looked at the photo, my initial reaction was that it was entirely a cream color....but closer study showed that there was this soft blue and peach color.  I decided to incorporate those into my color palate. 

I loved the lacy look of this blouse and used 3 layers of lace to "ground" my flowers around the bottom of my frame.  I used a glassine bag as my backdrop to soften the entire card a bit. 

I kept the sentiment soft and embossed it in white.  I incorporated a doily behind the flowers. And flowers? I used lots of flowers!  I didn't want them to look too heavy, so I used creams and added a few vellum flowers that were cut using a Spellbinder's die. I added a few feathers, acrylic accent pieces, vellum leaves, and flower stamens I bought in the bridal department at Michaels. 

I popped the frame up a bit using dimensional foam circles.  As a finishing touch, a few pale pink sequins were scattered here and there. 

I have lots on the agenda today and will be playing chauffeur to my kids.  

Storms are supposed to roll in tonight to bring in cooler air.

I'm not a fan of storms, but cooler air would be welcomed! 

I am thinking I may do a giveaway this weekend, since I haven't done one in awhile.....so if you get a free moment, please come back to visit! ;)

Have a great weekend!
