This is another card I made using the beautiful Rue des Fleurs set. It is CASEd from a Leadership swap but I unfortunately don't know who to credit for the original idea because I didn't receive this swap myself, I just saw it in my friend Maggie's swap collection. The original used flowers as the main image, but I changed it for the flowery corset instead, which I inked with markers and decorated with small pearls.
The frame was created by using the new Framelits dies and embossing the centre with one of the Designer Frames folders (which you can get for FREE during SAB, by the way!).
The background was stamped with another Rue des fleurs image and I added the border alongside the Bravo Burgundy cardstock. The Elegant Eggplant cardstock was embossed using the Big Shot and the Vintage Wallpaper folder. The scallop border was die-cut with the Tasteful Trims die.
To finish the card off, I ruffled some lace trim at the bottom and added a Springtime Vintage rose ornament (which I think are still available in the Clearance Rack). The sentiment was stamped with the Perfect Pair set and punched with the Jewelry Tag punch.
