TLC = bordered sentiment. Here I "cheated" by using one of the stamps from the new PTI series called "Splits"....which do exactly what the "bordered sentiments" is all about. I embossed with emerald EP and then used acrylic paints to do the leaves. Chose the sentiment from another set for the greeting. The soft shimmer of the gold bg paper doesn't show in the photo.....looks like plain beige/tan....so it goes.

Greens and gold are a spectacular color combo. I like the varied greens in your leaves, Sallie, a very quaint card. I don't think you cheated, you achieved the look of the technique. So, I am now realizing (due to Swiss cheese brain syndrome) after viewing a few cards, I forgot to add the line border.

Really pretty, Sallie. I love the look of the green embossing powder/painted leaves and the off-center border sentiment. The gold shimmer bg paper must be beautiful with the green painted leaves.

I absolutely love the simplicity of this card, complemented by your fantastic watercolor painting in your background! The pearls look wonderful with the leaf border around your sentiment! This is so unique and beautifully done!
