Welcome
A simple card today - but one that I loved the outcome of.
I embossed the pale yellow panel, then sanded it to show the white core
Deep red rhinestones were added to accent the details.. the eye of the bird
and the flower centres
The sentiment was white embossed on red, and the main panel was mounted over red, green, and then the bright yellow base
The inside was finished with some red floral washi tape.

Pretty card!
No wonder you loved the outcome Maxine as it is fabulous card. Great effect from the embossing folder and sanding and loving the pop of red x.
Great looking card and a technique I have not done in ages.
Sanding gives a great look with embossing folders, and this one is lovely Maxine

Gorgeous Maxine. I have this folder - it's so pretty.
That is a technique I haven't done in a while...and the effect is so beautiful! (Don't know if I stil have some of that paper somewhere) Your card is so beautiful! Stay save and hugs, Gerrina

Hi Maxine, a wonderful card, I don't use my embossing folders nearly enough. Love the soft colour with the sanded embossing. Have a wonderful week... Megan
This has turned out really well Maxine I also have not used this method in ages might have to give it go
I am loving this one too Maxine! That embossing folder is awesome, love the little bird on the dandelion seeds. The sanding just brings the embossing alive! Loving the color combo as well, that little peek of green is so pretty. The deep red gems are perfect on this card. I love it! Hugs, Brenda
Beautiful! Sometimes simple leads to elegant and you accomplished that. Thanks for sharing with us at Polkadoodles.
Very innovative. Beautifully designed. The rhinestones are the perfect accent. This is a fun card to get on a birthday.
Hugs and Blessings,

Lovely embosding and love the sanded areas thanks for sharing at Crafty Catz in our Anything Goes Challenge
This is a great card, Maxine. I have never tried sanding on my cards, but definitely I will. I LOVE your card, my friend. Kisses!!!
Love the simplicity! That embossing folder is beautiful and I love the sanding technique. So glad you joined us at Creative Knockouts!
I have lots of core card but never thought of using it like this. How effective is that! So glad you like it yourself as we can be our own worse critics if we are not careful but I am not surprised you are happy with this. A delightful folder you chose.
Blessings, Neet xx
