Happy 1 year anniversary to Dynamic Duos! How quickly the time flies - I can't believe it's their 52nd challenge already... For this week's challenge we get to choose any past colour combo to use. I went with Week #15 - Certainly Celery and Pretty In Pink (although my colours look quite a bit darker in the photo...) Anyway I'm excited to show off the crocheted mat I used for this card. The fabulous Jessi Fogan of onecraftymama makes and sells these fabulous layering mats. They come in a few different colours and add a gorgeous touch of texture to your card. Be sure you check out Jessi's blog - even if you're not shopping for crocheted mats reading a few posts will be sure to give you a good giggle!
Supplies Used:
Cardstock: (White) Bazzill, (Certainly Celery) Stampin' Up
Stamps: (Vase & flowers from Gracious Vases, Sentiment from Fillable Frames #4) Papertrey Ink
Ink: (VersaFine Onyx Black) Tsukineko, (Certainly Celery, Basic Grey)
Die: (Nestabilities Standard Circles Large) Spellbinders
Gems: Recollections

Very cool mat! Love that idea, must check it out. Love your CAS card Jen. Thanks for joining us at Dynamic Duos!
Such a beautiful card. I love that Gracious Vases image, and the crochet mat looks just beautiful.
Stunning Jen, I have some of these beauties ready to go. I finish my nights tonight and hope to find some 'me' crafty time very soon. Thanks for the inspiration!
Wow, that mat is stunning! I have never seen anything like that used on a card! Gorgeous!
Jen, I love the crocheted mat. :-) I also love your gorgeous stamping of the vase and flowers.
Very pretty card Jen! Thank you for joining us at Dynamic Duos this week!
Stunning color combo, Jen - and this design is so delicate. Crocheted mat? What next? What a fun idea. Thanks for sharing.
Oh boy, and I fed right into that with my post from today & my Mother's Day flowers ;) Thank you so much for your sweet words, Jen. You are awesome :) I knew you would rock this in your CAS glory!
Oh, now I feel really inspired to use the mats I have! Such a pretty colour combo for this, Jen. Perfect for the delicate orchids!
Just love the simplicity of your design and your stamped focal point is fabulous! So happy you joined us this week at Dynamic Duos, we sure hope to see you back again soon :)
I love Jessi's mats. I still can't get myself to use them, then they will be gone. I need to make a card for myself so I'll always have one.
this is just stunning. the black mat makes everything pop!
mmm that pop of black crochet is just the job!!! They're fab aren't they... I used most of mine on last years crimbo cards but of course never had time to take pics :0(
Beautiful card, the orchid is very pretty.
