Welcome once more to my corner - thank you for visiting.
I went to tidy my desk the other day and when I got to clear the trimmings I started 'playing' - and this is the result...

I simply sorted the strips and then adhered them to a piece of scrap card (I said I was tidying). I chose a neutral colour as a base, and embossed then sanded the card to show the white core, and sponged a dark brown ink around the edges. The colour choice was because I needed this for a man.
The sentiment was gold embossed on a dark olive paper, and cut with a spellbinders Labels 14 die, and embossed.
I added the strip of ribbon across the top with a simple knot in it - this is to hide where the embossing folder did not reach.
Another wee tab of ribbon and the card was done - in about half an hour. My desk was a wee bit neater and I was one happy camper.

I love the dry embossed background and it sanded off a little to show through a touch of the white. Clever idea to add the riboon to the top where it didn't get embossed. I had never thought of that! And of course a great use of scraps.
ReplyDeleteThis is a fabulous idea- and a great way to use up scraps. Beautifully done- love the ribbon touches and the embossing! Hugs
