Welcome to another CSS Alumni Blog Hop! If you came from Geri's blog you are in the right place and if you didn't place go to Stamp TV so you don't miss a stop...as there is a fabulous prize for one randomly drawn commenter.
Our theme is this beautiful inspiration piece:
Isn't it beautiful!! The inspiration for my design came from the pitcher, basket and the fabulous looking texture of the rattan. Here is my card:
I used Kraft, In the Navy and Ivory card stock and GKD stamp sets: Block Greetings and Faithful Florals. I stamped the block greeting on Ivory cardstock and gently sponged with Memento Toffee Crunch ink distressing the edges just a bit before layering on a Fleur de Lis Square die. I used some navy gingham GKD patterned paper from Casual Friday and layered it with some corrugated card stock which I inked with Memento Paris Dusk.
Now please hop on over and see what the uber creative Joy has to share with you today!!
Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful day!
Blessings,

very cool
Pretty colors and the lace is a lovely touch.
Hi Jenni,
I like what you did with the corrugated cardstock. It looks like blue strings. I had to read your instructions to be sure what you did. Such a simple thing but effective.
