A handmade pink card created with the Spellbinders November Clubs featuring a luxe chain-style background embossed with the Luxe Lattice Embossing Folder. The focal point is a gold arched frame with a marbled coral wax seal stamped with a gold champagne glass design from the Cin Cin Wax Seal of the Month. Below the wax seal is a black and gold sentiment from the BetterPress Club “Paws in the City” set that reads: “Life’s more fun with a little flair.” The card is displayed flat lay style with wax beads, a wax seal tool, and greenery styled around it.
