Keep Calm & Carry On Card

I just got this stamp today from Michael's and couldn't wait to use it!

Here's the card I made:

I just LOOOOVE it.

I head embossed the stamped image with black onto cream cardstock.

{I go through that stuff like a mo-fo!}

I inked the edges with black ink next.

Yesterday, I die-cut a whole bunch of doilies with my doily die from Cheery Lynn designs.

So I added a black one to the background, along with black lace from Creating is Fun.

I added some pearl & lace trim from Joann's over the black lace.

Next I grabbed some seam binding and a super neat button {from Joann's} to form a bow.

The embellishments on the bottom right hand corner are from Recollections.

I had fun making this card! As I always do with everything I make. 

Basically, I just wanted to play with my new stuff.
