New Year New Swap Card

I'm STILL trying to get my table cleaned off.  I had gotten on the digi-swap cards made, but still had this embossed piece I had made for it that I ended up not using.  SO, I went looking and realized that it would work perfectly for this month's swap card - that was to use a background that I embossed, inked, or stamped.  This one, at least, is two of the three (Darice's Damask embossing folder). 

To this I added a border created with two different widths of ribbon before gluing it to the card front.  Then I added the sentiment - in front of a pink die cut & punched circle (actually two layered circles - the top of which is vellum.  The die cut you and stamped/die cut sentiment are both from a set my Mom has.  

The focal was created by adding a flower (Spellbinders Be Bold Blooms dies) to a white glimmer paper mat (Spellbinders Splendid Circles cutting die) which I added to the upper right corner as you can see.
