I FINALLY was able to get in to my stamping room and do something creative. I haven't been able to make anything for days (it seemed like forever) and really missed it and SCS, too!
Today's challenge was perfect for me because I needed to send a wedding gift to a friend. This gift card holder was so much fun to make and easy, too! I also fit it in to the color challenge from last Tuesday...love the Blush, Guava, Gray!
I dry embossed the flowers on the front and back of the card with the Priceless Classy Brass and highlighted the middle of each one with a white paint pen. It is hard to see in the picture, but it gives it a nice texture.
I also did a little Markie's Mom action with the dots around the scalloped frame...thank you so much for all of your inspiration!
The sentiment is embossed in white. TFL!

Love it! Love the hand embossing! It is lovely, especially with the white dots, and the sentiment is so pretty. Love the cake too!
