Here is an elegant take on these beautiful flowers and sentiments.

Sentiment:  Miss you.

For this amazing release, I am using something from each of the new kits.  I decided to use only stamping and die-cuts along with peel away gold adhesive foil.  The florals will work with most any sentiment.  The gold makes it shine beautifully, giving an elegant look to this clean and simple card.
