I loved her one layer card and the fact that the flower had petals and looked so nice when masked off. I used the Friend's Till the End two flowers. I stamped the larger flower in the center and then die cut the flower using a scrap of acetate. I used the acetate as a mask before stamping the smaller flower on each side of the larger one. As I was getting ready to tape it down I turned it like it is and decided I really liked it on its side, so left it that way! The sentiment is from the same stamp set and I heat embossed it with white filigree embossing powder. I tried several different colors of ribbon and decided on the bright summer sunrise and then added the scallop on the bottom, which is actually the heart die turned the other way! I love how this has so much "white" space...it may not be at the bottom like hers, but it is on the top and side and I really like how it looks. I added the hand drawn white dashes around the whole sentiment piece to finish it off. The sentiment is also adhered with dimensionals.

This card is fantastic! I'm so glad you changed it to horizontal. It really "works".

This is a splendid card! Great color choice and the combination of the large flowers and the tabbed center sentiment work perfectly. (Must find that stamp! :-)

Great job with the masking--beautiful card!
A great card with a terrific colour combination. The flower stamp is a worthy opponent to the doilies.
