I needed to make a pretty card for a friend's mother who is in the hospital. While poking around in my idea bin, I found an unopened pack of raised embellishments from K & Co. I've been hoarding them for years, but I've resolved to use them, even if I can't get more. I have too much great stuff unused!

Very lovely card - I really like how the flower and butterfly blend with the floral panel. Pretty! (And I'm laughing at your story about hoarding - I'm guilty, too, so thanks for inspiring me to let go!!)

She will be so glad to get this. You just can't get Hallmark cards that come anywhere close to this so she'll recognize how very special this is. You did a beautiful job!

Beautiful and guess what - I have the same embellishments and I haven't wanted to use them either cause they are just too pretty. I am getting to the point like you though that I need to use up what I have so I can buy more and not feel guilty about getting more.

This is a beautiful card. I just love that paper and how well it all goes together.

You did a beautiful job on this. Totally understand about "hoarding"...My DH got me hodgepodge for my b-day and it took me almost a year to use it with out fretting that I might want to save it for "later", lol.
