Today over at 365 Cards the challenge is 'You Raise Me Up' and we have to try an incorporate two ways to add dimension to your card. So I decided to pop the layers up off the card base using rather high pop dots and then I added the popped star as an embellishment. I also added the pearls to the image I used which adds extra dimension as well. Sorry the image is a little hazy and I have no clues as to why it is like that!
I had started making this card nearly two weeks ago but had only done the card base with the Kraft trim on the side and that was it and I didn't want to waste it so today was the day that it got completed lol. Orange is a fav colour of mine. When I used to have my business as a qualified Aromatherapist/massage practitioner my clinic colours were purple and orange and it always looked fantastic together. (Just off topic a bit there folks, we will return to normal viewing directly). Okay that is it for me today/tonight for us Australians in the Southern Hemisphere.So in the meantime. . . .
Walk about your day with beauty.

Michelle, this is a beautiful card. Love that lace edge punch you used.
great job! :)
Jeepers, Michelle, I can't stop looking at this - you have a lot of things going on here! Love your various layers, and the embossing, and edge punches, and hemp, and DP and distressing.....you get the picture! It's great, as usual!
gorgeous michelle...I love the color orange too and it is fantabulous teamed up with Kraft {another fav of mine!}.
It's a fab card! LOVE all the layering and the stamp is a beauty!
Love the orange and purple combo, too. I had an orange and purple dining room once (it was stunning, and I loved it!) Love the colours, the stamp, the distressing - aw, heck, it's just a great card!
Michelle, I knew there was a reason I like you!! I too am a massage therapist - and have done an aromatherapy foundation class - LOVE using essential oils - but back on topic here - :) I like your card - and congrats on not tossing it but using it - way to go!!
