Blessings - Frantic Stamper

Are you ready for another card made with the August Frantic Stamper release?  I have a ton of cards to share before the month is over so I better get going!  I must admit that this card is one of my favorites and it surprised me because I wasn't sure exactly where I was going with it.  Ha ha!

 I started this card by playing around with ideas for the Floral Vines (FRA-DIE-B024).  I liked the idea of clear embossing it on a solid color so I started on black and it looked SO pretty.  Then I toyed with another idea of stamping it on a light color and coloring in some of the flowers.  I liked both and while I intended to make two separate cards with these backgrounds, when I put them next to each other, I loved the combo.  I decided to combine them at an angle and cover the spot where they come together with a sentiment strip.  I love kraft, gold, and black together so I went with that for the strip and stamped a portion of my sentiment using the Blessings stamp set (FRA-CL-081) and finished it off with the coordinating Elegant Blessings Die (FRA-DIE-10280).  I love the color combo and how the two backgrounds work so well together.  Here's a closer look:

Thanks so much for checking out my card and I can't wait to share more of what I created with this awesome August release from Frantic Stamper.  See you soon!
