I was thinking today about what is really my style of card, I love love love the shabby chic style, but I love clean lines too, as well as vintage. After some thought, I guess I love that I don't have any one particular style, as I think It could and would get very boring very quickly lol, so using the just Add Ink sketch this week for inspiration my card is below.
Here is the sketch:
here is my labour of love:
Blushing bride cardstock has french filigree stamped in white craft ink.
THe photo corners have been punched out from a piece of cardstock that had been run through the big shot with the tulip edge embossing folder.
the main baja breeze panel has been stamped using the retired dotted background stamp using whisper white craft ink.
A row of pearls sits along the top scallops.
