This is out in the Mail today going to my dear Mom for Valentine's day. She just got out of the hospital. So a pray for her would be so appreciated!
This is a digi from the "Fred She Said" collection called "Better than Chocolate". It reminds me of the ornately decorated boxes of Chocolates that my Dad would buy for my Mom down at the local drug store. So I want for the opulence look on this card.
So as not to bore you with my chatter, I will tell you really quick the most awesome part of this for me was taking the Rangers Distress ink and braying the inside positive side of the cuttlebug embossing folder and running it through with white paper. I was in awe of the results...I will be doing that again real soon I assure you!!!
Thanks for stopping by. Please let me know what you think-I value you and appreciate your comments.
P.S. There are more pictures and deets if you care to look at my blog if you would like to make one of these for someone special in your life.
