I needed to make a sample using a 3D Xmas embossing folder in a non Xmas way... and pulled out this background paper I had made eons ago for a calligraphy piece that didn't turn out... so cut it up and glued it to the card.

I'm using an A Way With Words dies  "Happy Anniversary"  2 pce set, from Elizabeth Craft Designs, also available on Quietfire Design HERE

I'm also using a sentiment  stamp from Quietfire Design  ("What Greater Thing - Heart Flourish" 2pce set);

Hiding In My Craft Room  #335 super scraps
Artistic Inspiration  #192  anything goes
My Time To Craft Challenge  #362 something new (the embossing folder for the bells)
Sisterhood of Crafters  #94 Frame it (2nd entry)
Simon Says Stamp Challenge  add a sentiment
TTCRD  #16 - 22 anything goes
Crazy Challenge  #266 use a button Labels: Bkgr'ds, buttons, Colour Burst, Dies, Dry Embossing, ECD Products, Emerald Creek, Greeting Cards, Handmade Embellies, Misc Challenges, Multi Fold, Spellbinders, Techniques What a beautiful quote! I like your background and the bells. That's some pretty precise fussy cutting!
