Thanks So Much

 Good Sunday morning all!  I started today's card by stamping my sentiment in the lower corner with a black Archival ink pad.  Next I embossed the background with my Tapestry A4 embossing folder for texture.  I matted it with blue card and ran a piece of thin redline tape across the bottom above my sentiment.  I peeled off the liner backing and used white seam binding to ruch across the tape.  I added a messy bow, Dazzler and crystal stick pins to the right side.  Next I began work on my focal element.  I stamped my Stamp to Die For design called Kaleidoscope  using a clear Perfect Medium pad and heat embossed it with Cosmic Shimmer True White embossing powder.  I cut it out with the Decorative Labels 22 die.  I cut an Elegant Labels Four out of Coconut white card.  I cut it in half and taped it to the back so the decorative edge was just peeking out from behind my blue die cut.  Next I cut two of the smaller size of the Stately Circles.  Using a scoring board, I scored across it so there were score lines every 1/4".  I cut to the centre of both of them, then folded them concertina style.  I glued the two pieces together to form my rosette.  I cut the smaller size of the Stately Circles in blue and added an 8mm pearl to the centre.  I mounted it the centre of my rosette to complete my focal element.  I added a double white mat with a pierced inner mat to finish the card.  Finished dimensions are 6 3/4" x 8" in size.
