Happy Thursday everyone!  For my card I am using the sketch from Mojo Monday.  I decided to go square.  I started with a black card base.  I used the fleur de lis background from Bountiful Backgrounds and stamped all over using versamark.  I then layered my designer papers.  I am using some of My Mind's Eye Lost and Found Rosy collection designer papers.  I die cut my Rounded Rectangle and Rounded Scallop Frame dies using black and more designer paper patterns.  I stamped the floral image from Kinds Words directly to the dp and added some sparkle with a quickie glue pen and some glitter.  I stamped the large leafy image from New Mercies and added a few more touches of glitter.  For the sentiment I used the smaller of the Tiny Sweet Scallop die set with a sentiment from Fairy Tales.  I finished with a seam binding bow, button, black memory thread and a few dyed to match pearls.  

Next on the hop is Dawn!  As always thanks so much for stopping by!
