Long time no see!
I know...I`m a terrible blogger! It feels like an eternity since my last post.
All I can say is that I`ve been too busy to play:(
A while back I was the lucky recipient of a RAK from my ever-so-talented blogging friend Melody! She sent me the most beautiful stamp set called Merci Bouquet from Layers of Color. I knew imediately that I had to go super soft and feminine with this set, and I kept the layout very simple.
I colored the image with Distress Inks, and created a frame using a Spellbinders circle diecut and an EK Success corner punch. The background was also made using dies from the Fleur de Lis Pendants template.
Thanks so much for visiting, and have a wonderful week!!
Just BEAUTIFUL !!! Love that gingham behind the image and the beautiful die cuts.
ReplyDeleteThis is sooooooo beautiful

I've already done this with another creation of yours and it suddenly occurred to me I ought to get your agreement! Carol
