Julie's Creative Stamping: Elegantly Said Borders

Hope your enjoying your day so far! I don't know about you but I sometimes overlook the border stamps in stamp sets. Look at this border stamp it is so beautiful!

For this card I used the Simply Elegant Suite. This suite includes the Elegantly Said Bundle, Simply Elegant Designer Series Paper and the Simply Elegant Trim.

I did add in some Gold Foil and the Metallic Pearls.

Below you will find the Card cuts, Instructions and Supply list.
