Needlepoint Border Thank You

Here’s another thank you card.  I used the Needlepoint Border embossing folder because I love the border look on cards and I also wanted to use my new stuff (he, he).  I used the spotlight technique on this card using the  Elements of Style  stamp set.  This is a great technique for this stamp especially if you’re not a person who likes to color.
