All occasion card with decorative paper, an embossed strip and a watercoloured gift

I made a few more cards for my sister from the supplies she left here a few years ago.  

I created a blue half sheet card and cut a striped  decorative paper background.  I cut a strip off the side of my background, flipped it and used regular tape on the back to attach them back together.  I embossed a strip of gray cardstock with a polka dot (CB) embossing folder and highlighted the dots with silver ink then touched the sides with black.  I adhered the strip over where the papers joined.  I fussy cut the gift (Artful Stamper) and watercoloured it to coordinate with my background.  I had stamped a few of these when I was creating cards a few weeks ago.  You can check one of them out here.  

I have a few more to show you over the next few days so come back and check them out.
