For inspiration I once again took my design from elements listed in the Double D's Inspirational mood board photo. They are celebrating their one year birthday or anniversary. And the sentiment I chose for the card had only one candle on it so I thought it was a perfect choice.
I used some of the pre-printed toner sheets with sentiments on them that Gina K. Designs sells. The sentiment was die cut with a scalloped die and I also used a Deco Foil Toner sheet on which I die cut the outer circle. Before I added the foil to my sentiment piece though I colored in a portion of it with a peachy colored Copic marker. I wanted some color added to match the main card of Gina K. Designs Peach Bellini card stock.
My white embossed panel was done using a Cuttlebug embossing folder called Floral Fantasy. I thought it matched the design on the One image in the inspirational photo. After I had layered this to the main card I then proceeded to add the foiled sentiment design.
The final addition to the card was to add a double bow ribbon which had threads of gold running through it.

Well, we are in a cold, cold spell. This morning it was 18 degrees below zero. And below zero highs too! Good time to stay inside where it is warm and I am so grateful that the power is back on. That would have been even more rough with temps like this. As it was, during that time we had fairly mild temperatures so that was a plus. You have a great evening now. And thanks for the visits and all the great comments.
God bless,
Verna

Simply beautiful and so elegant Verna.
Love that sentiment focal portion, the colors are really pretty! A great celebration card and another beautiful ribbon and bow! Thanks so much for playing along with us again at The Double D Challenge Blog, Donna, DT Member.
I love how you added color to the foiled panel. You have so many elements that match those in the inspiration photos - well done! Your card looks great!
You did a wonderful job with this inspiration photo. Using foil really makes the card elegant, along with that bow.
Great job Verna! You've done a great job matching the mood of the inspiration photos. The foiling looks wonderful.
This is beautiful - what a great use of the foiling, and that embossed background is gorgeous. That is one of the first EFs I purchase and haven't used it in ages. I need to pull it out again, thanks for the inspiration!!!!
Oh Verna this is so, so pretty! Thanks so much for joining in the fun at our Double D ‘ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION’ challenge! We hope you’ll come back often.

Oh, I love this, Verna! You used one of my first ever embossing folders and still a favorite. Good progress on those birthday cards! Yikes, 18 below is so COLD! It was 25 above here last night and I thought it was frightful. Our snow hasn't melted yet and now it's hard and crunchy. Thanks again for joining us at Double D!
