Simple Pleasures

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Today I am sharing a card that seems to be out of my color comfort zone. Most of you know that I love working with pinks, and of course, red and purple. However when I saw the weekly color challenge at  

The Shabby Tea Room, I was inspired to search for aqua and yellow papers.

My card measures 5" x 7" cut from white cardstock. Patterned papers are from paper pads that I have had for quite some time.

Cricut Cartridge: 

Country Life - Page 60 - Pitcher is cut 3". Pitcher is pop-dotted on the yellow mat. Phrase is cut 1.25"

Spellbinders - Nestabilities Eyelet Circles on the yellow dot paper

Martha Stewart Daisy Dot Edge Punch is used on the white layer.

Sew Easy Fancy floss - Baker's twine primary

Crinkle Ribbon from Karen at Little Scrap Pieces

Pearls and buttons from my stash and lots of inking complete the look.

 Challenge:
