Heartfelt Thanks

Hi crafters!  I started this card by using the Lavender Blue Opal Polish all over a piece of card and allowing it to try.  Next I rubbed a Black Soot Distress Oxide pad over the negative side of the Rose Bed 3D embossing folder and then embossed the background with it.  The black ink transferred into the floor of the design, showing off the roses.  I used a couple of extra strips of the background before embossing to go behind the edgers, which I cut in black from the Stella's Border die.  I used mounting foam behind them to raise them and added them to the sides of the card.  I cut the Stella die in black and added a white backing to it, then cut the centre out.  I used a Pierced Flag die through the centre and seated the sentiment on it.  I cut the Heartfelt Thanks out of the same opal polish background and added a black die cut as an offset shadow.  I made two Cosmos Flowers as accents.  I cut the solid flower from extra of the background and added a black outline on top of it.  I accented the flowers with white leaves from the set.  The card was completed with white and black mats and layers.    The finished dimensions are
6 3/4"  x  8 3/4" in size.  All for now, Sue x
