Sometimes I just want a card that's soft and pretty.
This new Springtime Vintage paper from Stampin' Up fits the bill. I wasn't thrilled with the colors, as they aren't as vibrant as pictured, but they are great for soft cards. Their new embossing folder, Framed Tulips, is awesome! Great texture. The sentiment is from Melody Ross' Unity set "All Worth It..." I stamped it in Tuxedo Black Momento Ink, then I went over it with a black glaze pen so it would stand out. It looks like it's not put down very good, but trust me I fixed that after the picture ;)
I put lot of layers and extras on this card. The doily is a Wilton doily that I sponged with Tim Holtz Old Paper Distress Ink. That adorable little heart is Webster's Pages Little Whimsies. So cute! The little embellishment in the corner is My Mind's Eye Lost & Found Market Street Love Brads. I switched out the brad that was in the center for the teal one from the package. I attached a tiny safety pin from SU's Vintage Trinkets top the bow. That bow is made from some seam binding I bought from Mish Mash ;) I think that all makes for a very soft pretty card!
This next card uses the same designer paper from SU. Very vintage. I believe the tea cup and saucer are from Unity's December '10 Kit of the Month. They were stamped twice in Basic Grey ink and cut out and layered. The print on the nestie is a Unity background, Giving it all Meaning. It was stamped in Versamark and embossed with clear powder. I love the rose button on the cup! There is a flower image on the cup, and I just covered it up with the button :) . It's from The Girl's Paperie Tinsel and Twig buttons.

Awesome cards, Tonitone!!!
Your cards are just beautiful girlie. Love the soft colors and the ribbon. Wonderful Work.
Love the card! Especially love the ribbon - what kind is that?
I am not anonymous! I am Lorrie!
The ribbon is seam binding that has been dyed. I think we need to make some of this when we get together sometime ;)
