Keep It Neutral . . .

Happy Friday Everyone!

This week at Joan's Gardens she has shared a beautiful creation with us as well as a new technique.  Although I haven't yet had time to try her technique, I did want to play along and quickly put a card together (limit of three so I hope to do a couple more during the week).
Her challenge requirements this week are as follows:
  • Use a picture
  • Neutral Colors 
  • Add a Flourish
  • You must use a product sold at Joan's Gardens. Also, mention that you are doing the card/project for Joan's Gardens Challenge. It would be nice if you would add this link to your post: www.atjoansgardens.com

Here's what I came up with ... what do you think?
I have an awesome pack of vintage 'photos' that I purchased at the Adventures in Stamping Convention which in held here in Akron each spring.  The company is called TJ Designs but the website is www.tweetyjill.com.

A few other challenges I'd like to enter into:
Coffee, Chocolate, Cards - Anything Goes
Jo's Scrap Shack - Anything Goes
Sister Act Card Challenge - Anything Goes

Below I have listed items used to create my card and all items purchased at Joan's Gardens are highlighted in RED. Hope you're having a nice Friday!  I'm trying to get laundry done and working on some new items for my upcoming craft shows!  I'll be sharing those with you in a future post  (hint:  one has to do with Hershey Nuggets) YUM!

Till then THANKS for taking the time to stop by and as always . . .

Recipe:
Papers:  Ivory cs, Cream cs, Creative Memories dp
Stamps/Ink:  SU Elegant Greetings/Versafine Onyx
Accessories:  Cheery Lynn Designs (B117S), Starform gold stickers (#1223), Prima flowers, gold Stampendous Diamond Dots stickers, Spellbinder Gold Labels Four die, Prima flowers
