A new Allsorts Challenge begins today and Lynne has chosen the theme 'Embossing - heat or dry'.
Adding texture using an embossing folder is one of my favourite ways of adding texture. For my card I've used Lisa Horton 3D 'Sunflower' embossing folder. The strip of ribbon was bought ages ago...... I couldn't resist it as it has sunflowers on it. I had no idea what I was going to use it for, but it seemed perfect for this card. The sentiment is raised up on foam pads to add some more dimension.
There is a prize of a die, embossing folder and layering stencil bundle from Lisa Horton Crafts for the lucky randomly chosen winner.
I am joining in the following challenges:
A very appropriate card for you Liz and so effective with the coloured panel against the white.

Hi Liz, that's a lovely card - you are right a bit of embossing always adds interest to any design. I read in your previous post about your weekend of crafting - sounds like a great way to spend a weekend, I wonder if any of the scrapbookers picked up the cardmaking bug? I also wanted to say thanks for always popping over and leaving the kind comments on my blog - I know I'm terrible at posting in return so I wanted to both say thank you and sorry!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful embossing folder Liz. Connor (our youngest) and Amelia are getting married in 3 weeks and sunflowers is the order of the day so that would have been perfect for the 75 invitations I made last year!! xx
ReplyDeleteThat is so gorgeous Liz. Love the embossing and the strip of pretty paper sets it off beautifully.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful CAS design, and the ribbon is the perfect accent. Thanks for joining us at The Inspiration Station and Beautiful Blossoms Challenges, and sharing your lovely card.
