A Card Concept Celebration! #17

Good morning all! I am so thrilled and excited to be a new Design Team member for

The Card Concept!  

My assignment is  'Classy & Elegant' designs.  I’ll be trying my best to make my creations simply classy and elegant. Thank you, Lesley Croghan, for the honor of having me on the Team!

The inspiration photo looks like a celebration to me. Fresh clean bedding and a bright cheerful pop of color with the white is wonderful. I made my card to celebrate anything that makes someone happy; weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, graduations and for me a good night's rest.

I looked for anything in my stash that reminded me of the pattern of the big blossom. I've used a Spellbinders Lotus pendant die cut under the panel with a similar pattern. The small bouquet is added to make the clean simplicity in the photo into classic elegance.

Make sure you stop by The Card Concept to check out what the design team's presenting and to add yours as well!

It's always good to have a card or two in your arsenal for baby showers and such.

My raindrops is partially sponged with a Balzer Designs template of a shinning star in Distress Ink worn lipstick. The umbrella is a memory box die and the little flowers are punched with Martha Stewarts small hydrangea punch. The sentiment is by Verve.
