Today we have a lovely project by Sharon Johnson to share with you. I'll let you hear what she has to say about it:
What I made for today is not a card per se, but a 5 x 7″ piece of art, if you will. One could write on and sign the back, using it as a card. It can also be hung from the clip on a nail or small hook or pinned to a note board, or it could be displayed on a table in a photo holder as I have it displayed in the photo above.
I used Attic Treasures paper (6×6) for this project — LOVE that pad! It is filled with soft, subtle vintage prints and patterns all in shades of cream, blush and brown tones.
The card stock used is SU Very Vanilla and Blush Blossom. The ink used to edge the paper is Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Antique Linen.
The Let’s Celebrate little banner is a sticker in the Attic Treasures Collection.Couldn’t be easier. I added the silver rhinestones by Kaisercraft.
See my focal image flower with the strips of alphabet, numbers and zig zag stitching? It’s just a portion of a sheet from the pad. Couldn’t be easier!
I also used the Melissa Frances Victorian Ephemera Kit for some of the embellishments on this card. The pearls came from that kit, but can also be purchased individually on pearl and rhinestone cards by Melissa Frances.
Thanks for this great write up Sharon and sharing your process with us. Glad to hear that you're a fan of the Attic Treasures Collection!
Oh, YES - I do love Attic Treasures, as well as all of the beautiful Melissa Frances items. They are an absolute pleasure to work with! Thanks so much for having me!

The card is absolutely beautiful. I immediately bought the attic treaures paper and pleated trim. Can you tell me where the satin flower might be available?
