Sorry that you can't see the glitter on the dry embossed green cardstock, but that's why I did include an extra shot just before this so that you could see that glitter from the Sakura gold glitter pen--I just love those pens! I think that they are my absolute favorite glitter pens, I just wish they'd bring out more colors than the 12 we have now plus the clear glitter pen, that always sits on my desk, I use it that much.
This card was made to show my caring thoughts for a very special woman, the mother of my dear uncle. She lost her husband of more than 70 years a few weeks ago, and I wanted to make and send a card that would let her know that I was thinking and praying for her.
I'm really enjoying using this little Magenta cling set that I found tucked away behind some of my big wood-mounted Magenta stamps, and have made 2 cards with this now.
Thanks for checking it out. I'm always grateful for your comments, I learn from them and they really make my day when you take the time and trouble to leave them!

This is so beautiful! I love all of the elements to this card; the layers, colors, and that gorgeous ribbon. Your double knot is awesome - this has now inspired me to try that. Thanks!
