Pretty in Purple

I have some great news. I got a new job! It is a step up from what I was doing but it will take a lot of my free time. I won't have as much time for my card making.
It is ok i will still make 1 card a week at least. Instead of making on everyday. :)
So here is my card for today:
 

It was very easy to do... because..... I got my GELATOS... Yeey ( happy dance). And they are as awesome as everyone says. So I have stamped background Just Rite stamp on the ivory cardstock and embossed with clear powder. I have used the blues and purple gelatos to add color.

I have cut out Cherry Lynn dolly and this is my main focal image. I have put lace boarder around the page and made a ribbon with it too. Added so pears and the front is done.

For the back of the card I have embossed with cuttlebug folder and used the same gelatos to add color. in the inside of the card I have used gelatos as well to match the color and then added pattered paper.

This card is a trifold flip, similar idea to squash card. This card is for a friend who is retiring. Unfortunately i didn't take the pictures of inside of the card because i made it last night and gave it this morning. I was taking pictures before work half awake...

    Beautiful card, the colours from the Gelatos are very striking. Love your background and the doily is gorgeous. Beautiful touch to decorate the inside too. Live the touch of lace and the added ribbon. Thanks so much for joining in the Simon Says Stamp and Show Challenge. Tracy x

    I think your cards are inspiring and would like to add your blog to my RSS reader, but what I see on the reader from your blog is text only. I don't know how the other women make an image (or more) show up in each post, but if you could do that I would subscribe and read regularly.

      CC, I think I figured out. I checked Atom, it's working good on my side with pictures.I have made sure that the feed settings set up correctly for you to see pictures. If you would like email me: stacycraftstyle@gmail.com, and we will figure it out together how to make it show up.

      Hello!
      Thanks for stopping by and telling me about word verification! I thought I had that set to no...ugh. Word verification is so annoying...I can't believe I had it on!

      Thanks again and have a great weekend!
