Another card with the Ornate Garden Suite

I have not been able to resist playing with the wonderful elements in this bundle.  Here is one of the cards I have made:

I got the inspiration from this card and re-created it because it was just so very beautiful! The card base is white with the top and bottom die cuts from the Ornate Borders dies cut from the Ornate Garden Specialty dsp and the center panel made from Mint Macron and embossed with the Ornate Floral 3D embossing folder.  I used the Ornate Labels dies to cut some white card stock and then stamped it with stamps from Ornate Thanks in Versamark, embossed it with gold embossing powder and adorned it with 3mm gold accents from my stash.

Here are some of the products I used:

I am currently investigating the possibilities of putting glue into "lip gloss" containers to use on these kinds of die cuts.  You want them to stay put, but not have glue all over the place.  Several years ago I picked up some glue in a tube that looked very much like lip gloss.  I still had it and when I unearthed it in my craft cave clean up, I decided to try it.  And ... it worked! We shall see how it all pans out, but I am hopeful
