For my card today I began with stamping the wild rose image on vellum in Versamark ink and heat embossed with White Detail. I turned over the vellum and used four Copics (V12, YG11, YG03, R21) to color on the back of the embossed image. 

Then I went on to the frame, I took a piece of white cardstock and die cut with the Die'sire: Aurora die. The center circle was a perfect size for the image. Then I took some Memento Angel Pink, and Lulu Lavender inks and rubbed both pads directly on to the cardstock. 

After I thought it had enough color, I decided to apply Versamark to the entire piece and heat emboss with Clear Detail, which resulted in a nice shiny look.

The image was cut with Spellbinders Standard Circle which happened to be just slightly larger than the cut out in the frame. I attached it to the back with a little tear-ific tape to hold it in place, before placing the entire frame down on a piece of 5 3/4" x 5 3/4" Super Adhesive Sheet. The new Hyacinth glitter was then burnished in to the sticky spaces.

The sentiment from the same set was stamped in Versamark on white glossy cardstock and was heat embossed with one of my favorite Tuscany embossing powders, the fine detailed Concord. It was then die cut using the Spellbinders Ornamental Tags One. A little Lulu Lavender ink was daubed over the die before removal, which gave the little tag some purple highlights. 

Some Crushed Grape Nuvo Crystal Drops were added to the tag for extra bling!

Creative Expressions (Sue Wilson) Olive branches were die cut from glossy white cardstock and were decorated with Nuvo Glitter Drops: Purple Rain, for a little more bling!

So then I started the put the card together. I tied a lace ribbon around the left side. I placed the three little flowers by the edge of the frame, using white brads on top of which I added White Blizzard and Purple Rain Nuvo Glitter Drops. The olive branches were tucked in behind the flowers as shown.

The sentiment was added with Foam Squares for dimension. This was all layered to a 6" x 6" piece of glossy white cardstock.

I found the image to be "washed out" with not enough pop for the rest of the card, so decided to add some sparkle to the image. Using Mountain Mint, Lavender Iris and Orchid glitters, which I applied with the Sakura Glue Pen, it turned out like this:

Much better! Don't you agree? So that finishes off my card for the Reveal.
