I made this for today's inspiration challenge from the pinterest page "inchies." Wow! Lots of pretty and detailed stuff there to give lots of inspiration. This was the inspiration for my card --
I used a Martha steward lace border and corner combo set to do the edge of my card. I embossed the background with a foam stamp that my dh got me two yrs. ago for xmas. I decided it needed a little more white so I added the white swiss dot panel to the right. I cut two circles on the cricut for my doily stamp and the white layer underneath. I stamped and embossed the rose. Then I fussy cut it out and glued it to some white cs and fussy cut it again. I decided to add some pearls and I got started and couldn't stop myself! I don't usually use that many, but I really like how it came out. The bow was made using the fork method. The very back white layer was cut to size, and then I fussy cut around the lacey edge. This was a very fun card to make. It was the perfect thing to do on such a snowy day--and we have got plenty and it's still coming down! :( I am definitely ready for some Spring, Summer, and flip flops!
Thanks so much for taking the time to have a look!

Lovely and romantic card, Geni. Love your edging that gives the impression of a ruffle. The white embossing on the blue makes it look like a lace overlay...just beautiful. And then you finished it off with ribbons and pearls.....exquisite.
