For my old tool, I used a border embossing folder of flowers and cut them into strips. (they are the small ef that sometimes come with a regular ef. In my case, I used a Cuttlebug folder). I've had them a long time and have never used them.
I also used a never-used border punch which is underneath the strip of flowers. I then added small pearls and a sentiment. TFL.

that is so smart to repeat the design across like this ( I have that skinny folder and it never gets out of the basket much either) so, I really like what you did here Sharon

Guess what? I have that same border folder by CB, and I also have never used it. So you get points for pulling it out and making such a pretty, monochromatic card with it. I love the font on your birthday greeting.

Your card turned out so pretty! I have that set of embossing folders, never could come up with a design! Great job with the embossing folder and border punch!

Beautifully done, Sharon - The repeated tone on tone image with the subtle bits of border tying them together makes an awesome CAS card. Love the tiny pearl centers on all your daisies.

Even though your card is monochromatic, those flowery embossed panels show up so nicely, Sharon! Adding the pearls to each center make them extra special! Beautiful birthday card~

Lovely card, Sharon. The icy blue is so pretty with the embossed flowers and pearls. Love the sentiment font. I have that embossing folder languishing in my basket of efs. Thanks for giving an unused tool some love and playing in my challenge.
