Happy Sunday, Kraftie Friends!

Squeezing in a last February card for some challenges...

I inked an embossing folder (retired CTMH - Rose) and ran it through my Cuttlebug (Embossing Folder Stamping Technique). I trimmed the panel to size and inked the edges. I added the strip of patterned paper and die cut hearts.

I stamped a sentiment (sneak peek of CTMH March Stamp of the Month - Winged Masterpiece), fussy cut it and adhered it on card with foam tape.

1. Festive Friday #78: International Women's Day (Heart/Flowers/Women)

3. Beyond the Blue #4: Embossing Folder Stamping
