I used the Faith, Hope, Love set and the Vine Background. I created a center step like I've shared before but adjusted my outer panels to accommodate the width of my panels. I matted with black and added a Spellbinders Ironworks Accents border. I cut the Love panel with Spellbinders Long Classic Rectangles Large, and the Long Scalloped Rectangles Lg to mat it. The ribbon is May Arts and the flower is Spare Parts. The pearls are from ACMoore. I love the elegant font of this set! I could see this not only as bookmarks but wall art, notebook or journal covers, or for an elegant home decor piece. Wouldn't the Love word make a gorgeous wedding or anniversary card? Oh the possibilities! LOL!
Here are the sets I used:
Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you enjoyed my card!
From here, you'll hop to the amazing Becca to me blown away!
