One of the designer papers I sometimes overlook is this one called Natural Composition. It is already embossed in clear designs. I think it helps make this such a simple but elegant looking card. Lots of fun elements are used here. The pearls make the card look feminine, but leaving them off and using a different accent border could change the card and make it look masculine.
NOTE: The embossing at the top of the card was done using the Framed Tulips embossing folder. The card measurement fits nicely inside the border so only one line of the folder shows on the cardstock.
Supplies

Gorgeous Grunge was one of our convention stamps last year and I have to admit I was a little disappointed. I wasn't even sure what to do with it. But now, it is a favorite. I creates great accent pieces on a card like this one. Can't you see making this card and just changing the sentiment?

Who would you send this card to and for what occasion? I think I might send it to Abby for her part in the local spelling bee.
Do you like using designer papers? I like to use them because they coordinate so well with each other. For this card I used the Retro Fresh DSP for everything except the smallest flower. And the great thing about using the DSP is I could have created this very same card using different papers or different DSP all together and then see a different looking card.
Supplies

What colors would you use to recreate this card?
I don't know about you but I love the colors of this card. The black and grey together are very sylish. Perfect card for a graduate male or female. Can you image making the same card and instead of black and grey using the school colors?
Supplies

Basic grey ink
Black, Basic Grey and Whisper White cardstock

Have you ever had an occasion come up and wish you had a card ready to go? My Fill Your Cardbox class can help with that problem. Each month we make 5 cards geared to a specific occasion. This month it is Congratulation cards.
I found a card I loved on Pinterest but needed to change up the colors. So, I went to my color coach and found that Pool Party and Bermuda Bay were recommended as colors you could use together. I love the results, how about you?
