Two Posts in One Day!

All day I kept thinking about the card I posted this morning and how easy it would be to "step it up".
For this second card I decided to emboss the white panel using the Stylish Stripes folder to create a subtle plaid effect.  I have used this technique several times since I first saw it on Michelle Last's blog HERE.  It just adds a little bit of texture to the background without being too fussy.

The only other change I made was to use Pearl Embellishments rather than the Rhinestones on the first card.
