My Favorite Style and Colors

My favorite colors to use in home decor are blue and yellow.  And my favorite style of decorating is Country French.  I love everything about it.  Charles Faudree's books are just fantastic, with gorgeous pictures and full of  outstanding information.  I love reading about Country French things and going antique shopping for them.

Here is one of my favorite cards because it is of my favorite style in my favorite colors.


The chair and frame were cut from SENTIMENTALS.  The words "Thank You" were cut from the MARTHA STEWART ELEGANT CAKES.  The frame and chair were both embosses using the Cuttlebug.  The flowers are Prima Flowers and the butterflies are from DCWV.  The lace came from my stash and the ribbons are from Michael's.  The little pearls are from Recollections and the papers used are from DCWV and K&Company. 




The Shabby Tearoom is having a Bingo challenge this week.  You are to select any row on the bingo card to create your card.  I chose the middle vertical row which includes lace, flowers, and embossing.
