A card for a very special person

This card is totally out of my usual style again (though I’m not sure what my usual style is anymore!) but I really think I like it. :D

very rub ons 3

I’ve used a rubber stamp from the Stampin’ Up! set called “Define Your Life” again… I find I use this set over and over in my cards and scrapbooking.  For the background of this card I’ve stamped the large rose rubber stamp from “Fifth Avenue Floral” – the thing I love best about this image is that it looks equally great stamped in one colour as it does coloured in, it also makes a fabulous focal image while still working as a background – the mark of true versatility in my book!  On the left of the card I’ve used a rub-on which I applied to vanilla cardstock then trimmed around it and added some felt flowers and a rhinestone brad.  The flat-backed pearls dded the finishing touch to my card while pulling the eye to the sentiment.

Feel free to leave me some comments, I always enjoy hearing from you all.
