This "Special Day" card features the new Stitched All Around stamp set by Stampin' Up!.   I love this saying as it could be used for  a birthday, an anniversary, or even elegant enough for a wedding.  I mounted it on a Elegant Eggplant mat and embellished with some die cut flowers, twine and a strip of DSP.  Any small flower stamp set could work to make a quick and easy card for any special occasion. This is an A2 size card.
