Gorgeous as always Monika! I love Tempting Turquoise, and you have chosen a loving paring with the Crumb cake. Love it!

STUNNING! That's what I think! I love that beautiful embossing on the kraft panel and the edges that are distressed and sponged to perfection! The tempting turquoise just pops! Love that little twine bow, flower, and pearl. OK, enough. Lets just say I love the whole entire thing!
