Just Us Girls want us to use an embossing folder on our cards this week. I haven't done anything innovative or fancy with mine, just used it as a major design element and a frame for the sentiment.
I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment first so that I could make sure I got the embossing folder nicely centred over it before running it through my Cuttlebug. Then I trimmed the panel, popped it up on fun foam, and embellished the embossed flowers with royal blue gemstones that matched the ink really well.
Supplies:
Stamps - Kay Foley sentiment
Ink - Distress Oxide Blueprint Sketc
Paper - white cs
Size - 6x4.25"
Accessories - Crafts Too embossing folder, clear embossing powder, royal blue gemstones
The simplicity is elegant and a great way to convey the message. Love it!
ReplyDeletegreat sentiment and just the perfect way to frame it. Love the card :)
ReplyDeleteSusan, this is gorgeous. I’m not one to use embossing folders but this one makes me want to try. Fabulous sentiment too. Now I’ll be on a hunt for that folder. The gemstones are a perfect embellishment.
ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful e/f, Susan! It's the perfect choice for the wonderful loving sediment! Someone will treasure this always! Keep safe! Hugs, Darnell
