Although this is a set that you can purchase on June 1st, I have had it since Leadership in January.  We got this free from Shelli and I just love it.  It is so whimsical and elegant at the same time.  The sentiment is from a stamp set that can be purchased until May 31st.

This stamp set was in the occasions mini but has not carried over to the new catalog.  That is so sad as it is so versatile and you do not need to use it for just Valentines Day.  I did the white chocolate strawberry on top with white craft ink and white embossing powder.

I didn’t want the doily to overpower the card so I cut 1/4 of it off at the top so the ribbon could share the spotlight.

My favorite card to create is a vintage type card.  I love antiques and old things and I guess that is why I gravitate towards the vintage technique.  The flower is not stamped but from the DSP.  I did used quite a bit of embellishments on this card.  I sponged soft suede on the torned edges to resemble burnt paper.
