Beauty and Joy!

Hi Crafty friends! 
 
There's a new challenge up at A Cut Above Challenge Blog.  The theme is always "Anything Goes With A Die Cut" according to the required guidelines.  April also has an optional twist of pastel colors in addition to using die cuts on the project.  
I created this card using the twist of pastels... 
BEAUTY & JOY
There are lots of layers and dimension on this card design.  The background patterned paper is matted twice and adhered to a white card base.  I used a doily die cut as the focal point and embellished it with a foliage die cut and coordinating ephemera.  The sentiment is stamped and die cut with matting in two colors.  I adhered tiny pearls on the doily and flower centers.

So, so pretty. I love that patterned paper background, and those layered die cuts showcase the focal perfectly. Gorgeous soft colors.
