My project for today is the exact opposite of the well known saying less is more. This card is definitely more is more! I couldn't stop myself.

The Smoky Slate base has stamped Misty Moonlight accents - those little flowers remind me of ornate tiles and are just beautiful.

Next, I have layered up Misty Moonlight card, some of the Designer Series paper and a narrow panel of Vellum cardstock. All three of these layers have been embossed with the Tasteful Textile embossing folder - it makes them a little softer and more pliable.  I curled the edges of the larger layers slightly by pulling them between my bone folder and my thumb. Then, I wrapped the Vellum around and secured it underneath. I also wrapped a length of twine from the Flowers For Every Season combo pack - the colours matched perfectly with my project.

The pretty flowers are stamped in Basic Gray ink and coloured with Blends. The petals are in Rococo Rose. I applied the lighter colour first and then blended in some of the darker shade, in the places indicated by the stamp. The centre of the flower is coloured in Smoky Slate and I just stippled the lightest shade over the stamping. The foliage is stamped in Versamark on Smoky Slate card and silver heat embossed. I fussy cut the foliage and the flowers, leaving a small border around the stamping, before attaching them to the card with glue dots.

The sentiment, which appears in a block, was stamped, heat embossed in silver and then snipped into separate pieces. The final accents I added were some silver metallic pearls. My more is more card is finished!
