This was card was made belatedly (what else is new?) for a good friend who lives in Florida. I individually cut out 24 (but only used 18 :-) Fleur de lis' Pendant die (the center one). I glued two each together and popped them up in a row of three to make the background. (Another idea from cards I had seen on Pinterest) I cut and embossed the fancy heart Spellbinder die (the largest one) as my focal point and then made a bow with my Bowdabra and then made a stick pin to add to it. I used half pearls to accessorize.
Thank you so much for looking!

WOW! I have that die & never have thought of using the small pendent as a background before! Now you have me thinking about what else I have I could use that way. I don't know anyone who is more creative with dies than you are! This went directly into my favorites to join all your others in there! I LOVE this!
Peggy, your background is exquisite and one of a kind. This delicate beauty will certainly become a cherished keepsake. It belongs in a frame! The more I see of your gallery, the more certain I am that I need to buy a thesaurus!
