Love You

 Good Sunday morning all!  It is big bow day again today, but it has been awhile to be fair! LOL  I selected some dusty rose card from my stash (we don't have this shade in our range currently) and I watermarked it by stamping the Rose Bouquet stamp by Justrite all over the background.  I used a Clear Perfect Medium pad to create the watermarked effect, then heat set it.  I love this as it is very soft, but gives a nice interest to the card. Using a black Archival ink pad, I stamped my sentiment in the lower corner and added small pearls between the words.   I wrapped a length of dusty rose frilly edged ribbon around the bottom of the card and taped the ends to the back.  I tied a double bow and added it with a glue dot to the side of the card.  The bow was finished with a small pearl embellishment and a couple of stick pins that I made to match.  For the focal element, I cut a Decorative frame from my California Collection in white.  I used that as a backdrop for the Justrite stamped label seven image.  I stamped it in black on white card and cut it out with the matching Labels seven die shape.  While still in the die, I inked it lightly with Victorian Velvet Distress ink before removing it so it was toned in nicely with the card.  I mounted it with foam in the centre of the other die cut so you can just see it peeking out from underneath.   I finished the corners with several different sizes of flatback pearls as accents.  The rest of the card was finished with a white pierced mat layer, then a thin black mat and a final white layer.  The finished dimensions are 7" x 8 1/2" in size.  Don't forget, all the weekly winners will be announced on Monday's post.  All for now, Sue x
