For this card I used both a 2-D and a 3-D embossing folder. As I'm sure you can tell, the 2-D folder was used on the white 4" X 5 1/4" panel.
The 3-D folder was used to create the two flowers. I cut them out first with coordinating dies and then I embossed them in the folder. When that was done, I used a finger dauber to add a little white ink to the raised areas.
The sentiment was stamped, cut out with a circle die and popped up on my card front.
The flowers were glued directly to the card front, but the glue was only on the backside of the flower centers. This left the petals free so I could position some of them over the top of the circle.
I added a few gems for a bit of sparkle.
I stamped a sentiment on the inside and embellished it with a small flourish stamp.
I really liked how this card turned out, so I plan to make a few more in other colors. Wedding season is just around the corner and I think these will sell quickly at the thrift store.
Thanks so much for stopping by, and remember to laugh--a little or a lot--every day.

So beautiful, Cheryl! I love it. I don't have any of those sets that die cut and emboss. :-(
What a beautiful card - I don't use my embossing folders enough.
Awww this is so pretty Cheryl, love your colour theme and the little touch of white to your flowers is just perfect.
You are SO kind to donate so many beautiful cards to the thrift shop. This is stunning! You outdid yourself, and someone will receive a gorgeous card!
