My Wish For You

Today I have this simple but pretty card to share with you.

Let's start with the beautiful leaf flourish. It's the weekly freebie this week from My Treasured Kutz called Leafy Flourish. I cut it out with my Cricut Explore using Recollections cardstock. After all the pieces where cut I inked all the edges using Rubber Stampede dye-based ink and a disposable lip applicator. I also used the applicator and ink to add a line to the center of the leaves to give them a realistic look. I then used a stylus tool and a foam mat to give all my leaves shape. I glued the flourish and leaves to the card using Scotch Quick Dry Adhesive.

The card base was cut with my Cricut as well, using DCWV textured cardstock.

The brick wall background was created using DCWV brick wall pattern paper which I embossed used my Sizzix Big Shot and a Darice EmbossingEssentials folder called  Brick Wall. After the paper was cut and embossed I brushed my ink pad over the embossed parts and edges to add a little texture.

For a final touch I added some metal embellishments to the card, the fancy corner metal embellishment and the metal sentiment that says "my wish for you..."

Thank You For Stopping By,

Have a Blessed Day!!
