Just Follow the Instructions...

These were the instructions given to me by my daughter...

...along with a list of colours and a reminder that she wanted me to use a stamped domino : )     At least she knew exactly what she wanted!!

I didn't have the right coloured flowers, but she liked the substitutions I did have, so I then went ahead and completed the card (for her friend's birthday)

My base card is a rich chocolate brown, I then added a light pink card front (distressing the edges) and my final layer was a lovely slightly darker shade of pink which I stamped with THIS Darkroom Door b'ground stamp and some Versacolor brown ink, distressing the edges further so that the lighter pink could be seen.     I then got to work on the rest of the card adding the brown LACE, the light blue LACE, the brown MESH, the pink POM-POM ribbon, the HAPPY BIRTHDAY ribbon, the LARGE paper flower, and the smaller pink paper flower, as well as a Kaiser pearl.       The domino has a coat of red StaZon ink, the Eiffel Tower image is from THIS Darkroom Door set (stamped with Archival ink) and the whole domino front has a coat of clear embossing powder.       The butterflies were made using a punch (the paper was a watercolour and salt background made by DD for a school project, and the colours were perfect for this)       The envelope was stamped with a sentiment from THIS Darkroom Door set, the Monalisa postoid is a Cherrypie image, and the postmark is an old Studio Astarte image.        Daughter was very happy...mission accomplished : )
I hope you are having a great time wherever you happen to be, and if you are in Melbourne, enjoy the rain...
