Hello Peeps !!!

Happy Monday!!!

I love this Just Thinking stamp from the Mini. There is till time to order this set, so don't miss out. I stamped the image twice then I cut the sentiment to create a 3-d effect. For my background, I just want the embossed look of the doily. I love the look of rhinestones for my embellishments and the sweet double bow for the ribbon. I am kinda sad that Baja Breeze is leaving-it is one of my favorite colors.  Hope you like the card.

Today's inspiration is from Deb's blog ( Stamp and Create with Deborah). She made this beautiful card that has  a cool border technique. I wasn't quite sure how she made it, so I just created my own using the Delicate Details lace tape in the mini. I sponged it with Peach Parfait and Cajun Craze to get the effect that I wanted. For my main image, I framed them and moved the saying where my border is. Hope you like it.
