Floral Affection Embossing Folder - card

Happy Monday everyone!
I am wishing for spring so I pulled out my long neglected Stampin' Up Embossing Folder called Foral Affection and created a very simple but elegant card.  I had seen a picture of a similar card on the internet some time ago and I made a sketch of it.  A happy thank you to the person who shared it with us on the Internet!
