Here is my card, it is a 5" x 7" card:
I started with Vanilla Cream card base, then I used the Cricut Artiste cartridge and cut out the frame using Smokey Plum cardstock. I also cut out the word "Love" using Black cardstock. I was trying to use the scrapbook layout on page 77 of the new catalog as my inspiration. I cut the two flag strips out of the La Belle Vie paper sampler. For the background on my card base I first stamped the words image from Universal Backgrounds set using desert sand ink. Then I went over the areas with the music notes stamp from Universal backgrounds using black ink. Lastly I used the two butterflies from an old retired stamp set and inked them in blush and Smokey Plum. The bird is from the older Wings stamp set. I stamped it in black and then used chalk to color it in slightly. Finally I decided I just had to add some bling, so I put on one black sparkle and two of the brownish/gold sparkles.
I don't usually stamp using so many layers, but I think I really like this BIG CARD!

Fabulous card, Debi, I love everything about it! I have never used that bird image from the Wings set but I will definitely be adding it to my must-use pile now.
Great card - love the color combinations, and thanks for the description of creating your background. Great ideas!

The background paper you created is beautiful--looks like it should be part of La Belle Vie packet! Lovely job on your "generously-sized" card (its to pretty to call BIG!).
This is lovely, and your embellishments and stamping look great! Thanks for playing along at H2H!
Love you cards and blog! You got a new follower, Maureen:)
