Thinking Of You Card Using Ching-Chou Kuik Petals of Rainbow With CTMH Kaleidoscope Paper

Lil Patch of Crafty Friends - Challenge 21 Anything Goes

Hello friends.  I hope everyone is doing well; and enjoying the fall weather; although it is still hot here in Southern CA.  I am looking forward to cooler weather; but not too cold.  LOL!  

It is time for another challenge at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends - Challenge 21 Anything Goes. I have created a card using Ching-Chou Kuik Petals of Rainbow.  I love this image and wanted to create an embossed card with it.  I chose Anna Griffin's Versailles Frame embossing folder.  I hated to cover it up; so I used the least amount of embellishments that I could get by with and still make it look good.  

We have 3 fabulous sponsors for this challenge.  They are "The Stamping Boutique", "Ching-Chou Kuik" and "Fresh Brewed Designs".
