Cardmaking - beautiful rose photo with rose decorative paper

I have started on the cards I will be needing for the next few weeks as family occasions come up.  

This one is for my sister.  The photo is from our last year's photo calendar which my sister gives us each year for Christmas!!  She does such great photography and so the 4" x 4" photos make such great cards!!!!  

For this card I used a dark rose photo and found rose decorative paper in my stash which worked really well.  I added an embossed strip of gold between the two papers and added a length of knotted yarn before gluing it all down.  Mounted all these elements onto a large dark green card.
