MIM #83

This post is for the current Make It Monday challenge that Melissa Phillips put together.  You can see all the details and submit your card if you click here. Melissa challenged us to find a card in the card aisle and use it as inspiration for our project for this week.

I didn't technically go to the card aisle to find a card. I received this one a while ago.

It's beautiful, I think.  I love the Ocean Tides color, the embossing look and the little bit of bling in the center of the flowers.  I would have never put this color combination together either.  It's so pretty.  I love this card.

Here's my take on it:

I heat embossed some leaves from Turning a New Leaf on the Ocean Tides cardstock, die-cut a couple of strips from the Eyelet Lace border die, and added some bling in the centers.  After stamping the sentiment on a Spellbinders die and adding some twine, I was finished.  Easy peasy.  It's not quite as fancy as the store bought card, but I love this one too. 

Thank you for visiting My Happy Place!
