Without further ado, here is my card for the blog hop.
I paired the new Flatware 2 dies with the also brand spanking new Best Buds stamp set. =)
The beautiful banner from the Best Buds set is stamped with Antique Linen Distress Ink and colored with Copic markers then fussy cut out.
I cut the flatware from PTI's Luxe Silver cardstock and matted them with a mini doily. I thought this would be a wonderful thanks for your hospitality card.
That's all from me. Don't forget to leave a comment for a chance to win! =)

This idea would be great for invitations, thank yous, and family get togethers. Even for work related pot lucks. I hadn't thought that the cutlery die could be used so many ways. Thanks!
Gorgeous card! Love the great banner! :)
Very sweet card and clever use of doily. I envy the creative mind.

That's a very beautifully designed card. Using the doily reminds me of a lacy napkin or a plate. Great coloring.

What a wonderful card. If you take the card base and sentiment away, the rest would work as a "place card" for a dinner customizing the banner with the person's name.
So pretty...love the cutlery dies!
