This sweet image is from Love Mail Creative Scraps, and the stamped sentiment is from Crafty Secrets stamp set called Garden Girls. I really wanted to work with the colors in the image (grays and tans), because I wanted the little bird and flowers to pop! However I couldn't resist using the seam binding to add that little extra color. The square card base was cut and embossed using Spellbinders™ Grand Squares #3, on patterned paper, I used the same square and traced around the outside of the die, cut it out with scissors to have a 1/4" solid edge around the outside of the first square. I did the same thing using Grand Labels One #1, stamping on the light cardstock with Crafty Secrets Flourishes stamp set. I arranged each layer as shown using dimensionals (pop dots) then added the image, May Arts Crochet Lace, Seam Binding and Dew Drops. After looking at the finished card for a few minutes, I realized that something else was needed, but not much... So, I added Spellbinders™ Fleur de Lis Doily Accents die template with another dew drop.

This card is so beautiful -soft colors and great detail. Where do you get the seam binding-it looks like it is wired. Thanks for the inspiration
