My friend Sally, of Sally's Creative Corner blog, made a beautiful card yesterday that I just had to CASE. I loved how she did the layers of dry embossing, but since I decided to use the Bride Specialty Paper, I wasn't liking covering up all that gorgeousness. The first change I made was leaving off the embossed layers (though I WILL be using that idea in a future card!). That specialty paper also led me to using the White Vellum Card Stock for the gold embossed ornaments, so it could show through a little bit.
I was wishing I had some of that lovely ribbon Sally used, because I think the gold wire-edge ribbon I used is too narrow, but that's all I had. I even tried dabbing some Gold Encore ink on a Whisper White taffeta ribbon - blech! Don't try this at home!
Thanks for stopping by. Have a wonderful pre-Thanksgiving weekend!!!

This gate-fold card is the third card we'll be making at Saturday's workshop. I don't normally do 3 projects, but this hostess won an extra project of her choice at the workshop where she booked the party.
Sooo, this is easy and something a little different. The flap tucks under the brad, holding it closed. I hope everyone likes it! (I particularly like the way the design in the ornament stamp mimics the design on the DSP!)
