This is one of those cards that randomly evolved. I found the embossed frame in my stash and really didn't want to throw it away so I built the card around it! Crazy!
The background, focal image, and sentiment are from the stamp set, My Friend. Once I stamped the background I wanted some texture so I embossed it with the Elegant Lines embossing folder. I had the Lattice also sitting in my stash so that went on next. After I stamped and framed the main image, I decided it needed more Blushing Bride so I added the punched flowers but I don't know if you have noticed - those little flowers always seem to need a pearl in the center! I always go for the odd number, so I added a pearl to one of the stamped flowers too. When I stepped back and looked at the card, I realized it could use some more Blushing Bride - thus the ribbon. Hmm. I debated over adding the sentiment. I wanted a sentiment, but where to put it?? It seemed to fit best under the frame. And, as an afterthought, I included 2 more pearls - on the lattice this time. I am not sure they were necessary but I love those Basic Pearls, so they stayed!

This is beautiful Lisa. I think the black designer frame really brings it all together, but of course, it wouldn't be complete without those pretty pearls.
What a gorgeous card. I love the framed image.
Very pretty Lisa!! I just got my frame folder and need to play with it.
Hi dear. I love the black combined with the other colours. It is stunning. The different layers are beautiful on top of each other. Never thought of layering them like that.
Thanks for the inspiration.
Inky hugs, Pauline
