Elements of Style Toile




I have seen various cards lately that were made with a toile looking pattern by combining the floral image from the Elements of Style stamp set and the Square Lattice Embossing Folder. This is my take on the idea. I loved the idea of black and white, classic toile, but I wanted a little color so I used my Watercolor Wonder Crayons to color in the image on the top layer. I also layered it on a card base of Pink Pirouette Cardstock. This will be one f the cards that we do at my class this Friday. Sorry it's not the best picture. I try to take my photos outside since I get the best light, but it's super windy here today. And that's the best I can do with my 5 year old holding the card "still".
