Victoriana - Ivy

Hello everyone! 

I couldn't wait to show you this card!  Take a look!

Although the card base itself is ivory cardstock, the mat (which is embossed) is out of white cardstock.  I  used a yellow on it to give a blush of color.

The yellow color is from a company called Viva Decor and their product is called Paper Soft Color.  I used the yellow on the background and on the brim of the hat.

I used a brown mat with a pink patterned mat for the photo. I used Vintage Photo dye ink around the edges of the pink patterned paper before I attached it to the brown bazzill.

Close Up!

I added the Paper Soft color to the brim of Ivy's hat.  It makes a great accent and ties back in to the card mat color.

I punched out a little tag and handwrote the word Ivy on it with plain black ink (I was thinking that this is what it would be like if someone were scrapbooking their loved one.)  Believe me, I debated about whether to handwrite the name or not.  I don't like my own handwrititng (who does?).  I am glad that I did though.

I hope you enjoyed this card!  Come back again!
