Sharing some more of my convention swaps made with the Perfectly Penned stamp set. I'm so glad you have been enjoying the ones I have posted thus far. I have been a swap-making-machine again lately and I have several more to photograph for you.
This one uses Delicate Doilies and Vintage Vogue in addition to the number one sentiment set on my list this year, Perfectly Penned. I just LOVE Perfectly Penned! I am calling this as one of the best sellers this catalog. It is just so well designed and so different.
I stamped the largest openwork doily in River Rock on Very Vanilla, then the vine flourish in Always Artichoke. The sentiment and the largest flower were stamped in Concord Crush, with a second large flower stamped using the rock n' roll technique in Concord Crush and Wisteria Wonder and cut out. The little flower is Wisteria Wonder, too.
I kept this card kind of vintage nouveau, but you could easily distress, texture, sponge and splatter to your heart's content and add some ribbon. I did add Basic Rhinestones in clusters, sealed with Crystal Effects, and to me it looks a little like a vintage button or pin.
OOOoooo I think I may have sunburned my shins today at the parade... I think a nice iced coffee and scrapbooking with my feet up is the cure for that, don't you? God bless you all on the birthday of our nation. Thank a vet or send a card to a soldier in between your barbeque and your fireworks today. And don't forget to scrapbook your red, white & blue pictures from today! Check out the Varsity Alpha and Numbers on page 170--too perfect for the Fourth!
Wow, this is so pretty. I love the vintage vogue paired with that doily background.

This is gorgeous! Purple is my favorite color - and the Vintage Vogue goes perfectly with the doilies! I've enjoyed your use of the Perfectly Penned, as well - it is on my first order and hopefully arrives soon. :)

This is a gorgeous card! Perfectly Penned is on my wish list but didn't make it to my first order...I think it will now have to be on my second order for sure. Thank goodness I have a club meeting this week!!

I love the backdrop of the doilie with the darker flowers popped up over it. This sentiment set is one of my faves too! It's on it's way to me.

Fabulous card Lyssa! Love all the elements and how they fit together. A real delicate feel but lots of color.
