Serendipity Stamps - WHITE Valentine!

The challenge over at Serendipity Stamps this week is to make a WHITE Valentine card with dry embossing!  A tall order!  The only color you can use is ON the image.  It made me get out my embossing folders and some interesting dies. 

When I do a white card I like to do textures and layers to make it interesting.  I embossed a square of white cardstock with a Sizzix Herringbone embossing folder and put it behind a piece cut with the Cheery Lynn Square Lace Frame die.  I tried a few embossing folders before deciding on this one.  It was tricky to get the right pattern to show up well behind the intricate lace die.

I layered my image over it and added a few layers behind it and added ribbon before attaching it to my card.  After stamping the wreath a second time I colored just a few of the roses, cut them out and popped them over the image.  Finished size is 5 x 5.
