I found a card that our new Queen Gail aka mamasix did that reminded me of one I did before with my vine bg stamp. I really liked it so I decided to kind of do it again, only case-ing Gail's beautiful card. Inset Leaves by mamaxsix at Splitcoaststampers
I kept most of the layout moving my sentiment to another layer and used birds instead of butterflies.
I love the embedded look so I punched out my hydrangeas and placed on the vines before running through my embossing folder.
I also popped up a few of the leaves on the vine.
Gail, I hope you enjoy your day/week of royalty. You have a wonderful gallery for all to choose from.

Love your beautiful card...I guess you can tell that I'm also a fan of the embedded look if you've been in my gallery! I love your color choice and the way you popped a few leaves up!

This is so pretty with those coral birds and vines, and the random popped up leaves adds such wonderful interest to the design!! I love the soft embossing in the background too!

This is just gorgeous Benzi. I love the embedded look as well even though I haven't actually tried it yet myself. This embossing folder was a perfect choice for the vine. I love your colors too. It looks so "Spring" and wonderful!
