Bless Your Heart

 Hello bloggers!  I hope everyone is well rested and relaxed after a few days of holiday cheer!  I know that I am!  Today's card is a quick little number that uses the Vintage Alphabet Soup Background by Justrite Stamps.  I stamped it on black card with a clear Perfect Medium pad, then heat embossed it with black detail powder.  I cut an Elegant Labels Four frame out of periwinkle card and glued it to the stamped background.  I stamped the sentiment from the What Defines Us stamp set and cut it out with an oval die.  I used a blue felt tipped pen and dotted all around it to add some detail.  I matted it with Vintage Labels Five in periwinkle.  I added some detail to the focal element with the Vintage Bracket and Label die cut in coconut white card.  Using some of the blue felt from the Blossom felt pack, I made two small rolled flowers with flatback pearl centres.  I used the leaves from the Bitty Blossom die set as accents.  I matted the piece with a thin white mat then a black mat before adding the double white pierced mat. Flatback pearls in the corners and focal element were added as finishing touches.  The finished dimensions are 6 1/2" x 8" in size.
