Miss You

Hi crafters!  I miss you too!  It feels like forever since I did a show and I still have a few more weeks to go!  Oh well, on to the card! LOL   Another really easy one as this is the layout I go to whenever I need to get back into the swing of things so to speak.  I have embossed the top half of my coconut white card using the New Year Dove embossing folder by Couture Creations.  I stamped my sentiment(from Justrite stamps) in the lower right hand corner using a Black Archival ink pad.    I ties a length of black silky crush ribbon around the card and added a double bow and some white tulle to the left side.  I seated a small cameo in the centre as an accent (I think they are so pretty!)  For my focal element, I stamped the flower from the Floral Thank You set by JustRite stamps (yes, it is the same stamp that I used on yesterday's card!) using a Black Archival ink pad on a piece of blue-violet card (from my stash).  I wanted to dress it up just a bit so I stamped the Secret Garden background over the top using just a Clear Perfect Medium pad so it looks like a watermark.  I love the extra bit of interest it gives.  I cut it out with the Scalloped Labels One die.  To give it a pretty mat, I cut a Decorative Labels One out of black card and used mounting foam between the layers.  I used the blue violet card to add a thin mat before finishing my card with a double pierced mat in black.  Again, pretty, but so simple and can be used with any sort of sentiment.  Finished dimensions are
 6 1/2" x 7 1/2" in size.  All for now, Sue x
