I really enjoyed going through this weeks Featured Stamper - Petal Pusher - Mary's gallery, It was hard to choice from her many beautiful cards, but I finally settled on this one Gold Tipped Stems by Petal Pusher at Splitcoaststampers
it was one that she cased of Beate's spotlight example - here Berries in the spotlight by Beate at Splitcoaststampers
I kept the layout the same and close to the same colours.
I used red card stock, really rust, old olive and whisper white. I cuttled bugged the red with divine swirls template and clear embossed. I used the embrace life flower and stem - embossed in gold. I coloured the stem leaves with really rust. Stitched around the edges. Used snaps for the center of the flowers. Stamped thoughts of you in versamark and white embossed on oval slider. Attached with peach lace ribbon.

This is smashing. Love it with the Embrace set . . . I can't wait to try embossing that one with gold. The gold snaps are divine in the centers of the flowers. Thanks for playing! Mary
