The neat thing about this card is that it was entirely made with leftover and recycled pieces. The vellum image was cut for our last club project. One of the participant stamped the flowers with the wrong ink and swapper her piece with my demo piece. We had been talking about dry-embossing part of an image on vellum, so I decided to use the scrap to demonstrate how it was done using the stylus from my Simply Scored tool. That was the starting point for this card. I had also shown the club members how to use the new border dies, hence the green scallop piece, and the pink cardstock with the pinked edge was a discarded piece from a card that didn't work out like I had envisioned.
At the top of the Pear Pizzazz cardstock, I stamped one of the stitching row from my unmounted In Stitches wheel and added small pearls on each flourish. The center panel was embossed using the Big Shot and the Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder.
I decided I wanted to frame my flowers, so I embossed the rectangle frame using the Designer Frames embossing folder (free during SAB!) and punched the center out using my square punch twice. I then added various lengths of Lucky Limeade organza ribbon (free during SAB!) and added a bow. I then added pearls to the center of my flowers and voilà!
