So Thankful

 Hi bloggers!  Gold and white for a simple card for many occasions.  Think wedding or anniversary with a sentiment to suit your needs.  I used the Lace Oval Frame Background by Justrite Stamps to create the focal element.  I love it when a background stamp can be used in ways other than a background.  I stamped this one twice with a Clear Perfect Medium ink pad on to coconut white card.  I dusted it with pale gold mica powder for a soft, shimmery look.  Using the Grand Oval dies, I cut each one into an oval frame, one small, one larger.  I added mounting foam to both, with extra layers added to the smaller frame to raise it higher.  I stamped my sentiment which was from the Mix And Match Sentiments designed by Becca Feeken for Justrite Stamps.  I heat embossed it with gold powder and mounted my frames over it.  I added two larger ovals cut from white card below it as a mat.  I cut a larger piece of white card and embossed it with my Tapestry embossing folder and used it as a background for my card.  I matted it on soft gold card and added a double bow tied from champagne coloured frilly edged ribbon.   The bow was finished with a small pearl embellishment and two pearl stick pins.  A final pearl swirl was added in the upper corner and a double white pierced mat finished the card.  Finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x 8 1/2" in size.
