JAI #177: STAMPIN' UP!'S HAPPY DAY MEETS DELICATE DOILIES

It's challenge time again at Just Add Ink, and this week brings a gorgeous colour combo that Mae selected from Stampin' Up!'s Color Coach:




I created a background panel for my card by stamping Delicate Doilies images, in all three colours, on Whisper White card.  I LOVE how these colours work together!  The flourish, and a sentiment, from Happy Day were stamped with a little doily from Delicate Doilies, and die cut using a heart framelit and my Big Shot.  Some new ribbon - chevron and seam binding - and scattered rhinestones, and my card was finished.  I think this would make a really nice contemporary engagement or wedding card, or a birthday card ... what do you think?







Stamps: Delicate Doilies, Happy Day
Card: Soft Sky, Smoky Slate, Whisper White
Ink: Soft Sky, Smoky Slate and Calypso Coral stampin' pads
Other: Hearts Framelits, Stamp-a-ma-jig, sponge dauber, Smoky Slate chevron ribbon, Soft Sky seam binding, Basic Rhinestones, glue dots
