I was thinking how blah the plain gold frame around Susie's card looked, so I decided to cut more gold strips and emboss them. It gives her card more depth.
Here is my card for Susie, she loves animals so I thought house mouse image would suit the occasion.

Such a cute pair, mailing their cards to someone who needs cheering up! I love, love that embossed gold frame around your beautifully colored image, such a creative touch!

Your special modification is indeed special. I'm sure this looked lovely with plain gold framing, but changing it out for that beautifully embossed framing adds so much depth, texture and luxe. Which I find a bit funny since your image is adorable and fun and I don't think of HM as "luxe". But in this case, luxe works beautifully. And speaking of images, that is one fun HM. Love the addresses on the envelopes. Made me grin and I bet Susie will too. Fabulous card, MaryJo.
