Congratulations

Cloud9 June 2013 Blog Hop

Hello Everyone,

Today I have a card for you for the Cloud9 Blog Hop, featuring WPlus9.  Unfortunately it will be the last hop :(.  So this theme was Anything Goes, and I decided to use Embroidered Bouquet!


So for my card I decided to use white embossing powder like I have seen so many others do--it just really makes the flowers stand out.  I also used a Cuttlebug Embossing Folder and some ribbon trim.

Thank You

Ink:  Versa Mark
Paper:  Pink Pirouette (SU); Lake House (WPlus9); Kraft (PTI)
Misc:  Cuttlebug Embossing Folder, lace trim, bow, pearls
