Using Neutrals for my Cards

I love creative challenges and I have said before that

working in a scrapbook store for 12 years had me using

alot of patterned paper all the time but since I have

been using all the new beautiful dies that Spellbinders has

been creating I have started to switch to more simple papers.

Today I am just using 2 neutral paper colors: tan and cream.

I used Decorative Labels Eight for my card and just cut out

pieces of each and layered them with foam dots. The embossing

stands out so much better on it and all I needed was to add

a pretty ribbon, a flower and I added some wooden leaves

from Prima that I inked ever so slightly with brown chalk ink.  

The pearls are from Want2Scrap and they are the best and 

come in a jillion colors it seems like.  You can order online too

if you can't find them in your local store here....

I have been really busy this week creating lots of fun

things to share so be sure and check back for

more fun inspiration using my favorite SB dies!

Have a really wonderful day....
