I am still trying to get into my Holiday card making groove, but best laid plans... I had to briefly switch crafting caps because I needed an Anniversary card and I needed it quick. So, I whipped this little number up using this fortnight's CR84FN Color Challenge colors showcasing Brown, Tan, and Green. Not a combo I use often as it can look a tad swampy in my hands, but it was a nice refreshing change in the end (and hopefully not too swampy looking). Only Waltzingmouse Stamps were harmed in the making of this card. The sets used were the Dainty Doilies - Large and Say It With Style. Love 'em!
I also delighted in cracking open my new (to me that is) Spellbinders Shapabilities Ironwork Motif die along with the Large Scallops Circle Nestabilities die (which so happens to perfectly frame the largest WMS Dainty Doily image). The nifty embossed script on the background Basic Grey DP is called Gauchi Script by Provocraft. It's another fun way to tjuz up a card in a flash, I reckon.
So pleased this card is crafted and posted. Off now to continue making my way down my seemingly bottomless "To Do" list. I bet you've got one of "those" too. *wink*
Enjoy the day!

gorgeous..so elegant!!
Absolutely gorgeous! I love the monochromatic scheme...and the elegance of the embossing
I agree with the others. This is so very elegant. I really like how you have the sentiment at an angle. Why have I never thought of that?
How exciting for me that you used that ironworks diecut, I just ordered that set and now I know a great way to use it! It looks so beautiful in front of the large doily, I don't think the colors are "swampy" at all, although that did make me laugh. Great job and very pretty anniversary card.
Beautiful, love the embossing!
Wow! I love all the textures on this card, Jen! I love the doily and how beautifully it fits inside the large scallope circle. All the layering is superb! Brilliant work as always from you Jen!
Stunning card as usual. I love the doily, the background embossing and the colors.
