Thinking Of You Today

Hi all!  I really like this background as it sort of looks like cork when you first see it, doesn't it!  I have simply used kraft card and stamped the Justrite Victorian Tile background using a clear Perfect Medium pad, giving you a watermark effect.  I added a piece of black duchess lace across the bottom of the card.  On blush coloured card, I stamped two of the Justrite Embroidered borders using a black archival ink pad.  I cut them out using the matching edgeability die edge.  Adding 3D foam to the back of both borders, I mounted them up for dimension, leaving a small gap in the foam to allow for the height in the lace.  I stamped the decorative stamp from the always and Forever set on black card using a clear perfect medium pad.  I heat embossed it with clear and cut it out with the oval nested medallion die.  On kraft card, I stamped the frame from the same set.  I stamped my sentiment on blush card and overstamped it for texture with the decorative stamp from the set.  I clear embossed for texture.    I matted the three pieces up to form my central focal element.  To keep my embellishments light, I used pink tulle to tie a bow and added some black jute twine and a black dazzler for definition.  I added a double blush mat and pierced the inner layer. To complete the card, I added small black dots to the edge of the borders using the Cosmic Shimmer black PVA glue.  Finished dimensions are 7" x 7 1/2" in size.
