Lovely card!
One question though- your instructions say “ Crop with a Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (Standard or Mini) and the 2 7/8 Layering Circle Die.” Where is the circle used?
The sentiment at the top is actually cropped with the circle and then adhered behind the focal point. You can see it here. Does that help?
Mary, your card is so elegant and beautiful. As you point out, very little effort is needed to make it. Sounds like my kind of card. Enjoy your day!
