Had to make a card for MFT Summer School Lesson #10: Monochromatic & used MFT Sketch #237. I was having "felt flower withdrawls"--LOL, so looked through my felt colors & decided on Grape Jelly. The MFT Rolled Gardenia is one of my favorites, but practically needs a box to mail a card with it. Since a local friend is about to have a birthday--perfect chance to use it! The leaves are one of my latest purchases--MFT Layered Leaves. I drooled every time I saw them used by Kirsty or Mona, so finally gave in & got them--even though I have quite a few leaf dies. Have to say--they're worth it! I cut them from a lighter shade of purple cardstock & covered them in Wink of Stella. The beautiful MFT Fishnet stencil (from a sweet blogging friend) was spritzed with Tattered Angels Rum Raisin. I used a doily from another sweet friend, Alexandra, & love how the stenciled image shows through a bit.
very pretty, greta... I love your take on the sketch! using a doily adds such a pretty feminine touch!
