Simple Good Life

I adore the Prints from the Good Life Collection.  The more muted, and soft tones, and country/farm style graphics feel very familiar and comforting.  For today's card, I wanted to feature some of those pretty patterns, and chose to create a card without a sentiment - which allows it to be sent for a wider variety of reasons.  

I layered up my chicken wire patterned paper, on top of the blue buffalo check paper.  I wrapped a bit of the Cotton Chambray Shirt ribbon (LOVE!!!  This is a must have in my book!) around the layers, and then tied a small bow.  I layered this panel on top of the soft gray wood panel.

I stamped and die cut the flowers from the Flower Shower stamp set, and colored them in with the Color Burst pencils.  This layer was glued onto the card front, and then I adhered the whole card front to a Whip Cream card base.  A few pearls up in the corner finished off the card.  

I adore how this card looked completed.  The flowers pop against the denim look of the ribbon, and the pearls add just a bit more elegance.
