Making a card recently for the Squash It challenge made me realise that although I have quite a lot of embossing folders they are somewhat under-used which is a shame because I think a bit of dry embossing on some of the layers of a card adds a certain something. I started this card by embossing a large piece of cream card followed by cutting a frame using kraft card. The sentiment was stamped onto a scrap of cream card and die cut into a fancy shape, finally some flower heads were die cut from the left over piece of kraft and arranged around the sentiment.
Frame - cut using dies from Tonic and Creative Expressions
Embossing - Presscut Quilted blocks folder
Flowers - Additions dies, poppy heads from Crafts Too
Sentiment - my favourite freebie sentiment stamp set, shape is a die from Creative Expressions
This is pretty and I do like how you have framed the embossing. Love the colour too. Hugs Mrs A.
