I have layered with some Bazzill cardstock. I used all the stamps from the set, and finally finished off with some ribbon and pins. To create the lace border I used a Martha Stewart Valentine Lace punch. You can find all the other "Berry Girls" HERE.

Apart from the stamps I have just used some black Bazzill cardstock and some Stampin' Up cardstock in Bashful Blue. I added some Stampin' Up "Basic Gray" taffeta and a clock charm. The sentiment is also by Kraftin' Kimmie. I really love how this has turned out....it's always so hard making cards for older males.
