For today's project I combined a new Lockhart Stamp Company image called Perfect Berries with Quietfire sympathy sentiments.
The venise (or Venice) lace was dyed with brewed coffee - I simply poured a half-mug of my husband's cold coffee, submerged a swatch of the lace, removed and blotted on a few paper towels then left to dry a few hours. Love this effect - in the photo above: before (below) and coffee dyed (above). A beautiful hue with minimal effort.
I used a mess of Spellbinders dies on this card - I channeled Becca - she influenced my choices for this project! Most all layers are elevated using foam tape, and the diecuts were inked with Distress Antique Linen ink. Colored cardstock is Sage, off-white is Parchment, both from Memory Box.
Ink is ColorBox Chalk Olive Pastel. The ribbon was made using white seam binding and Antique Linen Distress Stain using this technique. Patterned paper is retired 7gypsies Beacon.
Interior sentiment is Quietfire and the punched paper border is a Spellbinders die. Love the Lockhart gate on the envelope...thank you for stopping by today and best wishes for a great week!
