I have a card today using another one of Jessi Fogan's beautiful hand-crocheted medallions. I caved and used my last remaining piece of SU! Close to Cocoa cardstock that I've hoarded for quite some time. I matched it with some Blushing Bride cardstock, along with one remaining snippet of a coordinating blushing bride polka dot dsp for the tiny flowers. The sentiment is from the first stamp set I ever bought - SU's "sketch it" and I stamped it with Close to Cocoa ink. I added a Cheery Lynn die-cut flourish along with punched flowers and chocolate pearls from Pizzazz Aplenty. The circle dies were done with SB circle dies while the background was embossed with a TH damask ef. The card base and sentiment panel are both Soft Stone from PTI. I just love this soft color combination.
I'll be entering this into the following challenges:
Cuttlebug Mania "Many Thanks" challenge - make a thank-you card using a die- cutting machine. (I used a Big Shot)
Tuesday Throwdown #270 - "Thank You"
Pixies Snippets Playground #202 - must use snippets
Thanks for stopping by and make it a great Friday - even if it is the 13th (gulp)

Just beautiful!! :) I had to laugh because I actually STILL have a few sheets left of that color somewhere! So glad I am not the only one who hoards those paper colors!! Too funny and such a gorgeous card!! Thanks for sharing and happy Friday!!
ReplyDeleteThis card is just as beautiful as the last one with this gorgeous crocheted medallion. I don't know if I have any Close to Cocoa card stock left either. It was a good one.
