Happy For You

It's the weekend!  Tomorrow I have to work, otherwise I don't have any special plans.  I do need to start cleaning out the flower beds, but it's just something I keep putting off.  To me, it's not a very fun job.  Just necessary because I hate looking at the dead plants all winter long.

So I made this quick card yesterday.  I knew that I wanted to use the Cork paper and the Pretty Pumpkins stamp set.  The Very Vanilla Stitched Rectangle was already in my scrap pile so I figured out a way to use it.  

The pumpkin looks gorgeous embossed in gold!  And with the gold ribbon...Beautiful!  A basic card was just turned into an elegant one.  This one didn't need any additional bling.

The base was just too bland for me.  I used an additional piece of Rich Razzleberry and embossed it with the Hammered Metal 3D embossing folder.  It was the perfect solution.  

The words I colored with the Rich Razzleberry marker.  Mainly because the "for" was part of Forever and I didn't want the "ever".  It took me a while to come up with the right words, and the light went on when I thought of this.  It was perfect.
