Pressed Petals - Thank You!

I've been waiting to finish my craft fair items to play with my new suites from the new catalog. One of those was the beautiiful Pressed Petals Washi Tape. They were so popular that they were on back order during our preorder period. 

I put together this simple and quick card with the two pieces of the Pressed Petals DSP, the Pressed Petals Washi Tape and some of the Scalloped Lace Trim. 

The background is a piece of Crumb Cake stamped with the Crackle stamped in Crumb Cake ink. The card base is Very Vanilla. 

The Washi Tape flower is made with 6 of the petals from the washi tape, which are sticky on the back. I put them on a 1" circle of Blackberry Bliss, popped it up with a Dimensional and accented it with one of the gold Faceted Gems. (To make the backs of the petals less sticky I just dabbed them a little with my Embossing Buddy.) 

The sentiment is from the Perennial Essences stamp set, stamped in Blackberry Bliss on Very Vanilla. I die cut it with one of the dies from the Stitched Nested Label set. Then used the straight die from the set and added a row of the stitching to the top and bottom at the depth I wanted and then cut it down, to about 3/4" with my new paper trimmer! 

If you like this quick and simple card please give me a thumbs up! Love to hear feedback from you all.
