My awesome downline Michelle just celebrated her 10th year as a Stampin' Up! demonstrator! I made her this card to share my excitement of this accomplishment with her! There's a lot going on on this card! But it all works together. I stamped a bunch of flowers and leaves from the Oh So Eclectic set and cut them out with the coordinating framelits. I embossed the greeting from the Just Add Text set in white on some Chocolate Chip cardstock.
All of that is adhered to a piece of watercolor cardstock that I added some embossing paste to with the diamond stencil. After the paste was dry I watercolored over it and die cut it with one of labels framelits from the Lots Of Labels set. Finally to finish it, I stamped some tone on tone flowers on the base of the card and added some gold thread.
This card is not your standard size card, I think it ended up being 3.5"x7. So I pulled out my envelope punch board and made my own envelope. I used some plan kraft wrapping paper that I got from Target. It worked like a dream. I think my new plan for envelopes-wrapping paper!! I always have a hard time using my DSP for envelopes because you always need such a large piece for envelopes, maybe I just like to hang onto my paper too much LOL. But I love how great the wrapping paper worked!
Thanks for looking, see you soon!!!

Ruth, this is such a lovely card! I really like that it's a different size too. What a gorgeous take on the Eclectic set. I didn't get the stamp set, but I did get the framelits. I may have to rethink that now. LOL Great job! And Congrats to Michelle!
