I kept the layout
I tried to do the crisscross embossing pattern look with a texturz template
I used three little pearls in the bottom right corner instead of brads.
I changed colors, stamps, and I used NO dp....stamped my background and embossed the other panels. I did add some ribbon with hardware and a corner accent.
This card is also for the Raspberry Suite Color Challenge #16. The required colors are dark chocolate, summer sunrise, vintage cream, and kraft. Wonderful warm colors choices, Dawn!!!
Please check out this blog post to find out more about my dry sponging I did on the background panel as well as more card information. Thanks so much!
