The inspiration I took from Tracey's fabulous card was the general layout with the vertical image, the horizontal banner and the flowers. I also tried to stick close to the colors Tracy used and the white-embossed, non-scripty font on the sentiment.
For the vertical part of the layout I used a stencil and some embossing paste. The banner was sponged with Melon ink and then white-embossed and die cut. The flowers were colored with Copics before being die cut and popped up on foam tape. Behind the flowers and banners is a wad of silver thread.
Thanks for visiting.
Products used:
Stamps: Beautiful Friend (Clearly Besotted)

Cardstock: White, X-Press It
Accessories: Copics, silver thread, white EP, Beautiful Friend dies, Dot Fade Stencil (TH), Embossing Paste, Pierced Fishtail Flag Stax (MFT), white gel pen
