JustRite Friday Challenge #95--Window of Opportunity

Today I want  to share a card I made for a friend of mine who's son is getting married this summer and it also fits the challenge this week over at the Just Rite Friday challenge . The challenge is to have a window in your project and use a Just Rite stamp. My Window was made with a circle to showcase the Just Rite stamp from one of the first stamps I purchased years ago called Harmony Classic Circle Stamper 11. I rely on this set often when making wedding cards.

Supplies used:
Papers: Bazille shimmer c/s, Su whisper white, SU mellow moss, SU Very Vanilla,Kaisercraft After Five DP
Stamps: Just Rite Harmony Classic Circle Stamper 11
Inks: Versamark embossed with gold EP, vintage photo DI
Accessories: Spellbinders classic circles & classic scalloped circles, Spellbinders Lacy circles,MS Double Loop edge punch,Spellbinders Foliage , TH Pinecone die, Dollarstore Pearls,May Arts ribbon.

I made the roses using the Tim Holtz pinecone die and sponged the tips with vintage photo DI . Love how they turned out .
