"Thinking of You" from Sincere Salutations by Stampin' Up!; White and Celery Card Stocks; Patterned Paper by Anna Griffin; Acetate (office supply); Palette Hybrid Ink in Noir; Shimmer Pearlescent Chalks by Pebbles, Inc.; Stylized Flowers, Cuttlebug Embossing Folder by Provo Craft; Celery Mini Brads and Clear Square Button by Stampin' Up!; Ribbon by May Arts (available at StarLitStudio)
I can't tell you how satisfying it was to make this card because I LOVE pressure/dry embossing--it's so elegant and gives such dimension to a card. But, I haven't been able to do it for years, due to my tendinitis; just too painful and took waaaaaay too long. Now? Lawdy, I can pressure emboss to my heart's content with the Big Shot or the Cuttlebug! I am quite a happy stamper! In fact, the most time-consuming part of the whole project was figuring out what to embellish it with, and how!

I loved this card when I saw it on your blog and then I saw the thread about the Cuttlebug and had to run right out and get one, AND this folder! Thanks Julie, I love it!
