To make this card, I created a 6 1/2" x 7" card base from white cardstock. The next layer was cut a bit smaller in white cardstock and colored with distress inks.
I stamped Grand Elegance Cling Background Stamp with Versamark and white embossing powder on white cardstock and then heat set. I used distress inks to color the background and adhered to card with foam squares for dimension.
The scalloped borders were die cut with  Portuguese Collection - Border, Corner & Tag. The flowers and leaves were die cut with Finishing Touches - Camelia - Complete Petals, Finishing Touches - Camelia - Open Petals, Finishing Touches - Delicate Fronds. 
The sentiment from Peace and Joy Sentiments Clear Stamps was stamped with Versamark and white embossing powder on white cardstock and then heat set. I die cut the small frame from the set to frame sentiment and adhered to card with foam squares.


Supplies:
