I have become just smitten with the new color introduced in June called Smokey Slate. This color is so soft, it makes beautiful fancy and feminine cards and it pairs well with so many other of the neutral colors that it’s also become a go to color for masculine cards. For this card Smoky Slate works beautifully all on it’s own. I used the Window Frames Framelits to cut the shape out of the front of the card stock and then I ran the front through the Beautiful Baroque Embossing folder for the texture. The Lattice die piece was attached to the inside of the front flap of the card with Glue Dots and then a piece of Vellum Cardstock was layered over the inside front flap to cover the back of the lattice. The vellum also gives a smoky look through the front of the card, so you can’t see the greeting from the Love & Sympathy stamp set that is stamped on the inside of the card. Did you notice I lined the inside of the envelope to coordinate with the card. LOVE IT!
