For my card I am using Verve's Love Notes and Love Deepens stamp sets.  I combined the Verve Cut Above Classy Label with the larger of the Scalloped Flowers die to create a scalloped border around my Classy Label die.  I finished with a seam binding bow and a few tiny silver pearls.  I am using this week's Mojo Sketch 274.
 

As always thanks so much for stopping by!  Enjoy the hop!  Next up is the super talented  Sankari's Blog.
