I wasn't thrilled with the first card I created (see this blog post) so I created this card for all of the same challenges. I started by trying to recreate the first card since I wasn't happy with the embossing. But this time I couldn't really see where some of the stamping with Versamark was and the sentiment ran into the flowers. What to do? Cut out the flowers - I like this design better than the first! I wanted the dry embossing on the card so I ended up stamping the sentiment with Versafine Onyx Black and cutting it out. I added Pretty Pink Posh sequins to embellish.
