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.

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
ReplyDeleteThis has turned out really well Maxine I also have not used this method in ages might have to give it go
ReplyDeleteI 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

ReplyDeleteI 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.
