Country Lace DSP, Country Birdhouse bundle


Country Lace DSP, Country Birdhouse bundle

I just love this designer series paper..... and I didn't know it..... until I was preparing for this Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop.  I pulled the three chambray looking prints for this card and I simply love how they look together!  The list of all the supplies I used is listed at the bottom of this post. 

This month the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop has a sketch challenge theme. This card is my interpretation of this months sketch.
