Time for another beautiful
CR84FN challenge. The colors are very elegant and sophisticated this week. :)
"May
TODAY
be filled with happy
MEMORIES
of the past...and bright
HOPES
For the future"
Happy Anniversary
The sentiment was stamped using black archival ink on white cardstock. I then stamped the Hero Arts Lace Doily over the top of the sentiment using Versamark. I heat embossed the lace background using clear embossing powder. I sponged Memento pink dye ink over the surface to bring out the doily resist. The background papers are from My Minds Eye. Those pink crystal sprigs are from the floral department at Hobby Lobby. I loved them when I saw them. I was busy looking for Easter accents for another project I was working on and they fit with the card. :)
