I sanded down the cardstock after embossing to bring it out a bit more. I used the same pattern paper for both the sentiment and the punched flowers that I shaped with my stylus and a foam mat. Stickles to the center of the flowers and some wink of stella clear to the dots and birds eye along the frame. Added a row of bling and it was done :)

Ack! Love the frame and what a coincidence as I have this one out on my table to use on a card whenever I have my next stamping day. I'm so nuts about Core'dinations paper. The sanding really brings out the pattern. Love the flowers in the corner and the matching sentiment. So cute, Connie!
Oh Connie - this is absolutely gorgeous! I love the simplicity of it and the colors you used! Love that pretty embossing folder too!
