Could Denise's card be any more elegant?! I love the soft colors. And I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE (ummm.. did I say LOVE??) the overall design. That folded corner with the pearls is perfection! Here is my take:
The main panel of this card began entirely as white cardstock. I began by adding Distress Ink (Tattered Rose, Broken China, and Wild Honey) to small areas around the edge of the card. Next I masked these areas with circles and removable adhesive. While masked, I applied Worn Lipstick and Fired Brick Distress Ink to the background. Next I lightly misted this background with Glimmer Mist. I removed the masks and stamped the flourish (Penny Black 3859H) with Fired Brick Distress Ink. I stamped the floral image (Penny Black 3949H) onto the background as well as another piece of white cardstock. The flowers were colored with Copic markers and then cut out and and glued to the main panel. Sentiment by Penny Black (30-032).
And before you go I just wanted to mention that next week will be my first week hosting at the Penny Black blog. I'm soooo excited! I will be sharing cards in the same format as I do here on this blog, only there will be a new artist each day AND I will be choosing my featured artists from the Penny Circle flickr group. I'm already starting to search for my inspiration cards.... Oh, did I mention the inspiration card and artist will be posted on both this blog AND the official Penny Black blog? And one may even sneak into a PB&J video.... So if you've been waiting to upload to Penny Circle card pool, why not jump in?? :) I'm on the hunt for some fresh inspiration!
Big hugs to you all and thanks again for your kindness and prayers for Toffee!!!! I feel like I just can't thank you enough!

Jill your blog is filled with inspiration and delight. Beautiful card today. Looking forward to all the wonderful things you have planned and the other cards of Denise's you pick to be inspired by! Extra hugs for Toffee.
This is a gorgeous card. and definitely something to be inspired from Denise's. Your take is equally inspiring and no one would have known you were inspired by the card shown. I am really being tempted into more distress inks.... I think i need to start closing my eyes some more at products to stop me spending. You have a truly amazing blog. love it. and look forward to your week on the blog.
