Happy Wednesday to everyone! If you missed the drawing for all the prizes from the CTD team yesterday, check out the CTD blog for all the details! Now, on to this week’s colors! Barbara is our hostess and she has chosen these beautiful, soft colors:
I pulled out some Basic Grey Capella and Melissa Frances Home for the Holidays DPs and my new SU set, Nature Walk to make this card. LOVE that set! This card will be a thank you for someone who was very sweet to me! So here we go:
I also used Karen’s Sweet Sunday Sketch, turned on its side:
A few detail shots:
Love the vintage look of these images! The sentiment is from Word Play, stamped in Soft Suede. I also stamped the bee in White Shimmer paint, which gives it a nice little subdued glimmer. Some stitching, a ruffle-y seam binding, a glittered scalloped edge, a felt heart and some pearl embellishments finish it off. The glitter looks rather raspberry here in this picture----it’s a bit more subdued IRL!

Gorgeous card, and a darling expression on sweet Cassidy's face too :)
LeAnne, this is breathtaking! I love the subtle, worn-looking NW images and the shimmery bee is lovely. Beautiful, soothing selection of papers and colors. It makes me relaxed just looking at it!!
Wow...this is gorgeous! I love it all, but that little splash of glitter is perfect. I don't play with it enough. TFS.
This is gorgeous, LeAnne! I love your softly stamped focal image and those pearls in the corners balance everything perfectly!

What a legacy you are making for Cassidy. Her pictures are fantastic. I look forward to seeing each new adorable face. I was born during WWII, there is only one picture of me as a baby. You are making her a truly priceless gift. I also enjoy all of your projects/samples. Thank you for sharing.
There is so much beauty going on here on this card. I am glad you had all those close up shots, or I may well have missed some of the finer details.
