House of Cards Classic and Elegant August Challenge

This is the week at House of Cards Challenge Blog for Classic & Elegant Cards and my week to post as part of that Design Team!  This month it is a sketch challenge all month.


My Classic & Elegant Card for the Challenge


I made this card while I was camping out at my Brother and SIL's place.  The background on it has been changed three times!  I didn't like what I did the first time.  The second time we were working in my SIL's craft room late at night and the lighting wasn't so good.  I thought I had mounted the bee and senitment on cream Cardstock.  Instead it was white.  My SIL and I got a good laugh about it!  When I got home I took it apart one more time and mounted them on cream cardstock.  I think I need to buy my SIL an OTT light for her birthday to put in her craft room.  (Pati don't read this part!)

Products used:
Close to My Heart Bumble Bee Quick Card
Close to My Heart Buzz & Bumble Scrapbooking Workshop (retired) for Wonderful Stamp, DSP, cardstock and bling.
Ribbon from my SIL's stash
Spellbinders Parisien Accents Dies
Tim Holtz Distressed ink "Gathered Twigs"

Happy Crafting!
Donna
