This is the sixth (of 6) cards I'm giving my friend Gail for Christmas. I usually give her a 'fancy' set of notes with lots of layers and she loves them.
I am getting SO much use out of these small Cuttlebug Embossing Folders! I got them a couple of weeks ago when Michaels had them 40% off. I wasn't sure I would use them a lot, but turns out I was wrong. They make such cute focal points on a card! I rubbed the embossed image with Colorbox gold ink to make it stand out and give it a bit of shimmer. I also added a tiny pearl to the flower. Corners were die cut with Cuttlbug dies ... same sale at Michaels. Yeah, I stocked up. I'm weak. But happy! :-)

What a great card! I have both the corner dies and those small folders so this is going straight into my faves - love the way you highlighted the embossed image on the patterned paper.... Maybe if M's is discounting these, it might mean they are finally going to get some new Cuttlebug stuff in stock! Anyway, love your card - TFS.

Oh, this is so pretty. LOVE that patterned paper and your use of the embossed image. I have some of them and never know how to use them. They just sit there. This has certainly given me some ideas. I love the little pearl on your image. Just perfect!! Great card! TFS!
