Stacy asked that we visit Vera Bradley today for our inspiration. I love VB & have several purses in my possession! As luck would have it, I received my copy of CardMaking & Papercrafts today. Included was this paper, a stamp set & an embossing folder. I immediately thought of Vera Bradley & this bag that came up in my search. The inside view is my inspiration. I chose this PTI die because it was speaking to me loud & clear - I was complaining to myself b/c here I had this pretty paper & the stamp set & embossing folder were stuck to the paper with dble-sided tape. Why do they do that?! Then I said to self, 'you should be grateful that you received this gift to use today.' So, I made an eclipse card. I die cut 4 layers of CC & one of the flower paper. It shows up a little better IRL. I am happy with this!
Thanks for listening & stopping by.

Nicely done. Love the look of your eclipsed sentiment.

I got this paper in yesterday’s mail too and had the same thought about how the stamps and EF were stuck to this gorgeous print. You really found a clever way to use this print and could have been designed by Vera Bradley herself.
