I used my Gifts of Kindness set for the first time, stamping the image with Basic Gray onto Soft Sky cardstock then embossing it with the Polka Dot TIEF. I stamped the flowers a second time on scrap cardstock then punched out two flowers using the flower in the new Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack and added them to the center of the largest two flowers.
I embossed a 1-1/2" x 4-7/8" strip of Sahara Sand cardstock with the Scallops TIEF, tied on a bow then adhered it to the card. A little floral butterfly was added to the scallop strip and small Pearls were added to the body as well as the floral image.
The sentiment from Friendly Phrases was stamped on a banner with a smaller Basic Gray banner behind. I was very pleased with the way it turned out and really like these colors together!

I love how you stamped first and then embossed. And I really like how you placed 2 embossed panels side by side. Such a lovely card, Margaret!
So well thought out and so beautiful. I like how you added the little flowers from the bitty shapes punch. The butterfly is gorgeous! Thanks for the inspiration!
So many beautiful details on your card! Love this stamp set! Great texture, too! Love this!
Love the way you've managed to mix the textures and pattern of the flower stamp to such great effect here. A really pretty card.
Margaret, your card is beautiful! I love all the texture and the stamping then embossing is grand! I have this stamp and rarely ink it. Thanks for the inspiration to use it again! Your work is so amazing! XX
Beauful card, Margaret. Love the color combo and the stamping with embossing. .
Just lovely! Love all the texture and the soft colors. Who would have thought that the flower image would look good stamped in gray...but it does look great! Really neat effect!
