Artisan Embellishment Kit

With all the snow and freezing temperatures I went with Spring time colors for  this card. I combined products from  the Annual and Occasions catalogs.

Stamps: Papillon Potpourri & Sassy Salutations
Paper: Whisper White, Pear Pizzazz & crisp Cantaloup
Ink: Blushing Bride, Pear Pizzazz & Calypso Coral
Misc: Tea Time Doilies, Blushing Bride Cotton Ribbon, Blushing Bride Rosette trim, Die-cut card.

I used a die cut card from the Occasions Artisan Embellishment Kit as a stencil! I used a glue dot to add the rosette to the knot on the ribbon,

The Occasions catalog has a new Artisan Embellishment Kit. The description is "A fresh take on a past favorite! Kit contains 2 die-cut, double-sides Sahara Sand. white 3"x 4" cards, 18" Blushing Bride rosette trim, 1 yd Rose Red lace, 1 yd Blackberry Bliss thin velvet trim, 4 white doilies, 12 adhesive pearls, 1 lg metal flower button, 2 sm metal buttons, 2 clear buttons, 2 Blushing Bride resin flowers, 1 white resin flower"
