Thinking of You



Hi! I'm taking part in an online summer card camp, and this week we were given these colors with which to make a card. It took me awhile to come up with something...

Photobucket

I stamped and heat embossed with white embossing powder the floral images from Daydreamer onto a piece of patterned paper (Upcycle, by Cosmo Cricket??). I did also swipe the edges of the pink paper with white ink.

The other cardstock is Orange Zest and Aqua Mist from PTI. I tied a purple ribbon, and added my sentiment (from Autumn Abundace, PTI) onto a double edge banner die cut.

Have a great day!
Melissa
