This card is for this week's Ways To Use It Challenge - Squares and also for this week's Queen Susie (PaperPunchScissors). Susie, I have been making this card for a few days now - not because I am particularly slow LOL - but it was the Grand Final weekend for one of our football codes here in Australia - AFL!! You know I love your work, and you always leave such positive comments, this is the card of yours I chose :
I started out making a card just like yours - a bit more CAS - but kept adding layers!! I stamped the flowers using markers and then dry embossed panel. Also dry embossed cherry panel and added the punched edges, ribbon, pearl and raised the sentiment, using dimensionals.
I hope you are enjoying your week as Queen!
TFL!
EDIT: Just saw that Susie has been chosen as this week's Featured Stamper - congratulations, Susie.

Wow Sue this is gorgeous, and a lovely tribute to Susie's gallery. I love how you embossed the stamped layer, it looks so effective. The double ribbon really sets everything off. Love it.

LOVE your VERY pretty card Sue!!! I LOVE your stamped and embossed panel! Red, white and blue can have a tendency to look patriotic (here in the states) but all is see is beauty when I look at your lovely card! Wonderful sentiment and perfect to honor sweet Susie!
