Lavender And Brown Lace

Hi bloggers!  I just love these colours together, not sure what it is but brown just seems to fit with lavender to produce a soft warmness that I can't pass up!  You do need to get to the close up pic but I stamped the lace medallion all over the background of the lavender card to add some interest.  I used a clear perfect medium pad to give it a simple watermark effect.  I stamped the lace background using a coffee archival ink pad on milk card.  I lightly inked it with Antique linen distress ink to soften and age it.  I cut it out by hand (yes we still do that from time to time! LOL)  I stamped the medallion with coffee archival and cut it out with the matching die from Justrite.  I stamped the sentiment and frame from the Valentine tag set and cut it out with the matching die from the Antique tags set.  I layered up all three pieces.  To give it a bit more of a shabby chic look, I decided on torn flowers of varying shades of lavender.  I used brown brads for the centres.  I added a scrunched bow tied from brown seam binding and a small tied jute bow peeking out from underneath for texture.  I pierced the edges of the brown mat to create a frame and add balance to the card.  Are you liking these colours too?  Finished Dimensions are 6 1/2" x 7 1/2" in size.  All for now, Sue x
