It's Flourishes release week...yahoo! Today's stamp set is sooo pretty! It's called Feminine Charm, and was designed by the one-and-only Marcella Hawley.
Here's the card I made for today:
I've been on a bit of a kick lately to make cards that are clean and simple. (Stacy, aren't you proud? ;)) I only used THREE cardstock layers on this (yeah, I know....), and they are all white!
The pretty hat stand image was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black and colored in with Copic markers from the Hydrangea, Water, Fields, and Warm Neutrals collections. I used the Swiss Dot Cuttlebug embossing folder to make the background, and a Martha Stewart border punch along the bottom edge of the card. The ribbon is pale lavendar satin from May Arts. I also used my Scor Buddy to add a couple of lines to the top and bottom of the card...love the finished look that gives the card! The finished card size is 5-1/2" x 3-1/4".
Stop by the rest of the design team blogs to see what they've created with this gorgeous stamp set.

I've been looking forward to this release because the sets are so awesome! WHAT a BEAUTIFUL card, Cindy! Love all the white and the texture and how you kept the coloring to a minimum. Lots of impact in that little bit of color. Fabulous!
