Hello friends. It is time for a new challenge over at Seize the Birthday and this time Ashwini has chosen the "Topping" option to use an embossing folder on your card.
I used SU Stone EF (retired) for the white panel
. I really like using this EF and the impression it makes. I have been saving these little strips of paper from other projects and decided to use them on my card. I placed 3 diagonal strips on the white panel and them added this pretty stamped flower, with foam tape. It is from SU Art Gallery and stamped in Catherine Pooler All That Jazz ink. I die cut it with the matching die. The sentiment is from SU Peaceful Moments stamped on a stitched oval and mounted on a black scallop mat. I mounted this with foam tape and decided to add the two thin strips on each side. I added two aqua rhinestones for a little extra touch. The aqua mat is PTI Hawaiian Shores.

Happy Stamping,
JoAnn
I was hoping you had added this to Color Hues - it's perfect for the colour pairing! Beautiful card, and the texture the embossing folder gives is gorgeous.

ReplyDeleteA beautiful design! I love those diagonal black stripes as a background to the florals. Thanks for joining us at Color Hues!
ReplyDeleteI loved seeing this particular EF. The crackle effect is awesome, and I love how you've even kept the coloring and design elements to a minimal, which, show off everything on the card. Really well done!
ReplyDeleteAs soon as I saw this card, I knew that you were linking up with color Hues. Great design and use of these colors. Those diagonal strips really pack a punch. You knocked this one out of the park.
