Just Because

Edited to add: My card was chosen as one of the "What's Hot" at Embellish!





The Card Positioning System Sketch #220 and...



the Embellish Text Color Trends Challenge were the inspiration for this fabulous card! Isn't this mix of neutrals totally fabulous? Wow...love it!



I used the Notably Ornate stamp set with the Love Letter and Fine Print Designer Series Paper packs. The bird image was heat embossed and hand-cut...and darn it, I had the black rhinestones ready to adhere to the left corner and totally forgot. I DID remember to add some sewn edges, though! LOL! Does anyone else have these forgetful moments?



Thanks for stopping by!



Stamps: Notably Ornate
Paper: Naturals Ivory, Very Vanilla, Basic Gray, Basic Black, Going Gray CS, Love Letter & Fine Print DSP

Stunning! I am going to case it for a card class I am doing. A great way to showcase embossing. Hope you don't mind.
