Simply Elegant Crafting with DSP Scraps!

Last week I hosted a Stamp Camp class in my home and for one of the projects we used the new Simply Elegant Designer Series paper. The silver, gold and copper metallic tones really does create a simply elegant look.

Of course I could not bring myself to throw away my left over scraps, so I decided to create today’s card. Enjoy!
