Welcome to the Our Daily Bread Designs April 1 Release Blog Hop!
 For my card, I’m using the new Francis of Assisi and Cat Sympathy. I stamped part of the Francis of Assisi image around the sentiment (from Cat Sympathy), colored it with markers and die cut with a Spellbinders classic oval. For the embossed white background, I used two embossing folders. First I used the one w/ the little bird then cut cardboard in the shape of the wreath (to keep it from embossing over the bird) and embossed again using the wreath folder. The corners were rounded and I added some black enamel dots to two corners. The black background was also embossed using a Spellbinders M-Bossabilities folder. I died the white ribbon using the Neptune ink pad. The finished card is 4.50 x 6.25 (A6).
Thanks so much for visiting…
This is also for the Splitcoast Featured Stamper challenge (FS269) and I chose This card.

The embossing on this card is amazing. You have so beautifully balanced it with the colors. I am greatly inspired to try something like this in the future. It is a very dramatic card and I love it.
