Another Sneak Peek

 Good Sunday morning all!  Here is another card from today's shows.  This one is featuring the Sculpted Leaves background in it's simplest form, gold embossed on lavender card.  It is just such an elegant stamp that it doesn't need much more!  I cut two Scalloped Borders out of soft gold card for the edges to give it a soft filigree look.  For the focal element, I used the soft gold card again and cut a Tranquil Moments die.  I stamped my sentiment from the Rose Bouquet set and embossed it in gold on lavender card.  I used the smaller die within the Divine Eloquence set to cut it out and inked through it with Shaded Lilac distress ink before removing it.  Using my Classic Rose die, I made two different sized roses out of lavender card and "sugared" them with Iced Snow.  I mounted them to the side of the sentiment with some gold cording.  I finished the card with some matting and layering with the gold and lavender card and added in a pierced edge on my inside mat layer.  The finished size is 6 1/4" x 8" in size.

Hello Sue, I did not get chance to post on this one yesterday so am doing it today, having just watched the videoed edition of Tool Shed which was great as is this card, but then all your cards are lovely. I was really excited to see my name amongst the comment winners for July 18th!
Thank you for all the inspiration you give us!
