House of Cards Classic & Elegant Week!

This is my very first post as a Design Team Member for the House of Cards Classic & Elegant Team.  My DT card will post on the third Monday of each month.  If there is a 5th Monday in the month, I will post for the photo challenge too.

Here is how our challenge blog works--we will have a monthly color palette or sketch and then each week we'd like to see a different card making style using those parameters.  If there is a 5th Monday in the month, we will have a photo inspiration and you can create using any card making style you'd like!  

After much digging through my stash of stamps and paper to find the perfect colors and image I decided on this Carousel Horse.  It was fun finding and using all the stuff in my stash.  Here's the information on what I used.
Stamps:  Carousel Horse from Inkadinkado, Ticket Stamps from Stampin'Up, Wish big Stamp & Die from Jillian Vance
Embossing Folder:  Diamonds & Dots from Lifestyle Crafts
Cricut Elegant Edges Cartridge
Turquoise Ribbon:  Really Reasonable Ribbon
Ribbon Roses:  Paper Wishes
Designer Paper:  Authentique Celebrate 6x6 Bundle
Markers:  Stampin'Up Pool Party, Cherry Cobbler, Tempting Turquoise; Tim Holtz Distressed Markers Wild Honey and Mustard Seed
Washi Tape flags:  My Minds Eye
Brads & Bling from my stash.

Please join us over at House of Cards for some fun!
Happy Crafting!
Donna
