Thinking Of You

Good Sunday Morning all!   A little bit of letterpressing for today's offering.  I started with the background and inked up the negative side of my Bed Of Roses embossing folder with my Cool Peri Pigment ink pad.  I laid a piece of milk card on it and ran it through my Calibur which transferred the ink to the floor of the design, leaving the actual roses to show in the original milk card colour.  I cut the piece into four sections and added mounting foam to the back to raise them for definition.  I cut two of the Portuguese Borders in milk card and glued them to the top and bottom of the card sections, trimming away the excess.  For the focal element, I cut the centre die in the Classic Adorned Design Noble, but I used the slightly larger outside cutting die from the Ornate Pierced Design set to create a wider border around it.  While still in the die, I inked it with Cool Peri pigment ink to tone in with the background. I cut a milk background to fit behind it and glued them together.  I stamped my sentiment in Blue Violet Archival ink and cut it out with the inside cutting edge from the Classic Adorned Noble.  I cut a slightly larger mat and inked it with Cool Peri as well.  I layered them up in the centre and added some cream flatback pearls to the borders and die cuts.  I completed the card by adding a milk mat, a wisteria card mat (yes it is a new card colour!) and a final milk mat.  Using Ivory PVA glue, I added glue dots all the way around the edge of the inside milk mat.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x  8 1/4" in size.
