Elements of Style

I saw this beautiful card idea on someone's blog, I am so sorry I did not make a note of whose blog :( I changed the colors up a bit. I wanted to use some of the retired colors for my June Card Clubs. I used the stamping off technique on the Blush Blossom card stock so the Chocolate Chip Ink wouldn't be so dark.
