Today’s card is for someone who needs an encouraging word. Isn’t it nice knowing that someone is “thinking of you,” and sending positive thoughts your way?
Always thinking of you
The colors were inspired by Fab Friday.
When I see the color names, Grapefruit Grove and Lovely Lipstick, my mind goes to the fabulous, Sale-A-Bration, Foil Sheets. So, that’s what I used for cutting the shiny foliage.
The Grapefruit Grove leaves and Lovely Lipstick sprigs were were cut with two of the Wonderful Floral dies. A third, Wonderful Floral die, was used for the pair of Whisper White leaves. I used a Wonderful Romance stamp for making the outline with Blushing Bride ink on Thick Whisper White cardstock.
For the background, I embossed Whisper White cardstock with the Subtle Textured embossing folder. Prior to embossing, I stamped some tiny dots in Blushing Bride ink with a Wonderful Romance stamp.
I found the perfect sentiment, “Always thinking of you,” in the Beautiful Day stamp set. It fit the size of the Petals & More die just right, and I stamped it in Black ink on Thick Whisper White cardstock before cutting. I placed it on dimensionals across the middle of my design, and my art piece was ready to adhere to a Thick Whisper White cardbase.
A sprinkling of Iridescent Sequins was the final touch. You’ll find all of the supplies I used for today’s project in my Product List below.

love love your card, so classy and simple the best by far!
Thank you, Diane! that’s such a nice compliment!
I like that you only used the Grapefruit Grove foil paper in moderation, because I’ve been seeing it used in a large quantities, as in the whole background, and for me, that’s just too much. It can be overpowering, but when it’s used how you used it, it actually is complementary to the card.
Thank you, Dana! I appreciate your comment! I understand how you feel about the foil. If it catches the light just right, when working with it, it can be blinding! LOL But, I love it in small quantities.
Beautiful card Su. Love your work.
