The Rudolph Days September Challenge begins today and runs until the end of the month. In three months time it will be Christmas Day! 😮 Here is my card, which didn't turn out at all like I planned.
I bought the Gemini 'Holly Berries' embossing folder recently. I was looking for a holly background embossing folder and when I saw it reduced for only £1 in a craft store, I popped it in my basket. If I'd looked more closely, I would have realised that the embossing was only a frame and the centre square was flat. So, onto plan B. I die cut a stitched square and added a Memory Box 'Leaping Deer' die cut. The sentiment is a Penny Black stamp. I added three tiny clear gems down the top right hand side of the white square..... then I accidently dropped a blog of glue near the gems! I peeled the gems off, die cut a stitched rectangle, added five tiny clear gems to the die cut and covered up the mess I'd made.
I am joining in the following challenges:
The EF is really nice Liz and your reindeer looks right at home in his centre frame! Lovely card.
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful ef Liz,your feet sits beautifully in the diecut square in the centre of the frame
ReplyDeleteI love how you filled in the blank space with that deer. Then another great fix with the gems. I've ordered things that surprised me when they came too but I do like the holly embossing and you made it work so well.
ReplyDeleteI love that pop of red in the reindeer against the pretty green embossing folder. Great card for the holidays.

You worked round the folder real well Liz, the Reindeer looks like that's exactly what you planned.

We all have 'messes' to cover up sometimes and you did yours with style! The embossing folder was still a good buy even if it wasn't quite what you expected. The card is lovely. Kate x
ReplyDeleteA beautiful EF and a great plan B to use it, looks wonderful.
ReplyDeleteHi Liz! I like the green embossed background very much. The reindeer is a great eyecatcher.

A great card and I love the embossing folder you've used and what a bargain. I think the flat center panel could be very versatile.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing with us at Try it on Tuesday.

This pretty EF was a great find Liz and I love your added reindeer on the topper over central flat area, and in some ways having that area on the folder is a bonus as you can just stamp something in the centre too, and a very clever cover up for a mark in the wrong place with your pretty pearls on a mat...haven't we all done that and in my case frequently..lol. x
ReplyDeletePretty card! I love the embossing folder design and the deer!
ReplyDeleteBargain embossing folder and great use of it Liz. Shabneez x
