Painted Posies

Story of Elegance

I’m so happy to welcome Friday!

It’s been a crazy weather week here in Central Ohio and I’m hoping for lots of calm and cooler weather this weekend.

My card today features the new Painted Posies embossing folder. This beauty is a “sleeper” as it is could easily be overlooked on page 111 of our current Annual Catalog.

I’m delighted that I noticed it, and ordered it. Here’s the card I created.

Painted Posies Friendship

I used the beautiful Mother of Pearl Specialty Paper that will be leaving the line at the end of the month. I like that this paper add lovely shimmer without overpowering. This pretty paper is part of our Last Chance sale. You can pick it up for $4.20 while supplies last.
