Recently I purchased this die cut from Spellbinders called "Decorative Labels Eight".  As you will notice I cut my die cut ever so slightly by cutting it over the folded edge so that I could open it upwards while showing the pretty edges instead of gluing  it to a piece of paper as my background.
Here is the inside to help visualize how it looks when opened.
I also used a square piece of embossed paper to adhere to the pretty edge and then used my daubers rubbing my chalk inks to the paper while giving it a pretty pastel colored background.  I continued to add layers and a couple Fleur D' Les to it. 
As you may have noticed I have a bow here on this card.  I very seldom do large bows on my cards.  Most generally when I get done I find no room for a bow.  However, a pretty white bow really glammed up this card this time.  I may have to start doing more bows on my cards?  Sometimes I'm not real satisfied of how some of my cards turn out but, I really was quite pleased with this one.
Well...hope you have a happy scrappin week? 
Do come back soon.......
