Good morning and Happy July!! I am simply amazed that a half year has gone by already…
This morning I am sharing a card I made for a dear friend last week. I used the sketch at Create with Connie and Mary.
I used the new SU Lost Lagoon as a card base and ink for my sentiment. The layers are Baked Brown Sugar and Whisper White (which was embossed with the retired Square Lattice folder). I added a punched Chocolate Chip border using the dotted scallop ribbon punch. I thought the burlap added a nice touch, its not something I use very often. I also added a few Petite Petal flowers and pearls to add a touch of feminine since I went with some darker colors.
Here is the sketch~
Thanks for visiting today!

I love the color combination you chose! And using the burlap ribbon as your banner is a great textured backdrop to your sentiment. Thanks for playing along this week at Create with Connie and Mary.
