Today’s card
uses the Marbled Elegance Specialty designer paper that I am obsessed with. I
love marble and the Gold foil added to it just makes my heart happy. I thought
the Birch wood embossing folder was the perfect complement to this amazing
paper. I also love to stitching on the hearts from the Hearts of Elegance die
set.
I left the
inside sentiment blank so this card can easily be a Valentine's day, birthday,
thing of you or miss you card by simply adding the appropriate sentiment.
