Beautiful Sagen Rose

Happy Friday, sweet friends! I'm posting on the Live & Love Crafts blog today, sharing my green-inspired creation. :o)

This is a rare quick post for me, as my sweetheart whisked me away for a surprise mini getaway to surround me with my favorite things. Thank you for the sweet comments and emails regarding my friend... I appreciate each of you so much. ♥︎ I am eager to catch up with you later today now that I'm home.
I love the muted, vintage greens found in Maja Design's Vintage Summer Basics. They, along with the soft pink tones, pair beautifully with Sagen Vintage Design images.
The gorgeous rose image is from Sagen's Mix sheet. The delicacy is one of my favorite aspects of it. It is atop a Joy! Crafts Frame and Three Corners die. Detailing the bottom of my card are a few of Sandy's cream-colored goodies: Maya Road Tulle Pleat Trim, Valerie Lace, and Flatback Pearl String. The lovely butterfly border is a Die-Versions Whispers die. It is trimmed with a Cheery Lynn Anastasia border.
The Wild Orchid Crafts flowers are combined with flower sprays and decoration berries, with a sweet pearl heart accenting the corner. I can never resist sneaking in extra love. ♥︎ The greenery is from Magnolia's Heart Swirl.
A resin corner from Prima's Lace Heart and Corners collection is sprinkled with Shabby White Frantage, as the touch of gold is so pretty with this color palette. Joy! Crafts Butterfly Edge flutters above.

Thank you for visiting and I wish you a beautiful day. :o)

Vintage Love

Hello, sweet friends! I hope you're having a lovely week. I'm posting on the Live & Love Crafts blog today, where Sandy has given us the theme of "The World is my Oyster."

The theme inspired this card for my mother. In celebration of her birthday, I'm encouraging her to look up toward her future instead of how many decades have passed. The world is *still* her oyster, with plenty of dreams and love for the taking.

This is my first dabble into vintage images! They are so beautiful and make my heart flutter.
My card features lovely Maja Design papers. The majority are from Vintage Autumn Basics, which is one of my favorite collections. The color palette is stunning. I distressed my paper edges a bit, which was a first and great fun!
The Sagen vintage image from their Mix die cut sheet felt perfect for the occasion. Resin corners frame the sweet moment (and also the top of the card). I have been saving these pieces from Prima's Lace Heart collection for ages and am thrilled to finally use them. The added texture and elegance are lovely. The die cut frame is from Joy Crafts' Frame and 3 Corners.
The corner offers a glimpse into the treasures that await my mom. The rolled corner is lined with Madeleine lace, which ruffles atop pink hearts from Maja's Vintage Baby. The butterfly is from Coffee in the Arbour. A pearl heart provides an extra scoop of birthday love. The top border is Joy Crafts' Lace Edge.
Wild Orchid Crafts blooms pair with sparkling beaded pomegranate apples and decoration berries. The flowers have a touch of shimmer from Wink of Stella. Cheery Lynn Designs Mini Fanciful Flourishes scroll beneath. I triple-layered the trims, using Pleat tulle, Valerie lace, and Pearl lace with Beads. My postage stamp sentiment was created with My Craft spot dies and stamps. This was fun to create and I'm excited to give it to my dear mom in a few days. ♥

Thank you for fluttering on by! Have a sweet and sparkly day. :o)
