I have decided to keep my blog, I don't have a huge amount of followers by any means but It means a lot when the people that are interested look or comment so for now I'll keep it as it's a good way to share my projects.
Greg recently bought me a lovely embossing folder he found on clearance at Joann's for only $0.97 cents!! It's really lovely (I have such a thoughtful hubby!) so I decided to make a card for my friend Melanie for her birthday coming up in November. After embossing the card I coloured in the raised parts with chalks, it looks soft and really nice. I used my Art Philosophy cartridge to cut out the scalloped circles and threaded through some nice ribbon. I stamped Happy Birthday and then used Flower Shoppe to cut out the flowers, I inked them around the sides. My second favourite part to this card is the centre of the flower. I discovered "flower soft" and saw a good tutorial video on how to use it for centres of flowers. I got a regular silver brad, put hot glue on it and then rolled it around the flower soft to create a furry looking centre of the flower, it turned out great. Hope you like my card!
What a beautiful card honey! The chalked embossing is beautiful and so is the flower centre. Melanie will love it! Love Hubby!!! xoxoox
