LESS IS MORE--Embossing
Actually, less is less--timewise, that is! This card took all of seven minutes to complete.
After inking the Hero Arts wreath, first with Versamark and again with soft green ink, I stamped it on the card. Using clear embossing powder, I heated up the wreath and then added colorful flowers using three flower peg stamps. Unfortunately, (for this challenge) I had to pop up the butterfly because the ink wouldn't take over the embossing.
To finish, I rounded the corners, added the embroidery floss and stamped the greeting. This will make a nice summery birthday card!

Doris, I don't know how you did it in seven minutes! LOL! It's a gorgeous card...and I'd still be trying to stamp it without smudging it!
