The lilac card stock is a pearlescent card from Crafters' Companion.  The white card is Lynda Chapman's. The beautiful die cut frame, mat and circle with stitched detail, are from Creative Crafting World.  The ribbons and pearls are from my stash.

Tranquil Days

My card for today is made using the stunning Tranquil Days collection from The Paper Boutique range from Creative Crafting World, and also uses one of Lynda Chapman's fabulous new dies.  They cut so beautifully, release without any effort, and I really can't recommend them highly enough.  In fact, I can honestly say that about all the products I've bought from Creative Crafting World (and there are many!!).

This is the front of my card:

I used and 8 x 8 card blank and Lynda Chapman's Kraft card for the mat on my card.  The corners were punched using a Martha Stewart punch, and an edge punch from the same set was used for the decorative strip.  I kept the little punched out flowers and added them to the corners.

The beautiful doily was also cut using Kraft Card, navy card from PaperMill was used for the decorative strip and circle mat together with the sentiment which was die cut.  A number of lavender gems from Joanna Sheen were added to complete the front of the card.

This is the middle of the card:

I added one of the beautiful inserts from the same collection.
