Hello Friends and Welcome Back!
Today's card was created due to the overwhelming need to create with some of the NEW goodies I purchased at the Dies R Us Store. I LOVE the look of the 3D embossing folders so decided to get myself a couple more to create with. Here's one that I modified after embossing for a different look . . .
The modification I'm referring to is how I fussy cut around the embossed flowers to create the opening on my panel to which I added a fun die cut sentiment. The die I've used for my sentiment is by Sue Wilson . . .
This embossing folder is by Nellie's Choice and was purchased through one of the SPECIAL order events over on Dies R Us. Be sure to sign up for their newsletter so you can get connected on these limited time sales.
This embossing on this folder is so deep and JUST BEAUTIFUL!
I've done some hand drawn doodling around the outside edge and, the butterfly is Rubber Stampede - Butterfly (VERY old - colored with Spectrum Noir markers). I also gave it some luster by covering it with Ranger Crystal Effects though difficult to see in the photo.
Here's a peek at the Inside ...
Thanks SO MUCH for stopping by my blog today!
I hope you're having a fabulous weekend!
Prayers going up to all my crafty friends on the west coast dealing with these devastating fires and smoke. Please be safe!!
Gorgeous. Love the rich blue with the white

ReplyDeleteHow creative you are! I have several embossing folders but never ever thought to cut into the embossed image. I like how you think!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty frame! You cut that folder beautifully - I thought t was already like that! Hope your are well... sending hugs
ReplyDeleteI can definitely relate to your need to create when new goodies arrive Darlene! What an amazing idea to use the shape of the flowers to cut a window and what accurate cutting too! Have fun with the rest of your new stash! Vicky x
ReplyDeleteI just love your idea of cutting the folder like that, beautifully done and like your die cut sentiment to go inside the whole! Your butterfly is a lovely addition!
ReplyDeleteThis is so gorgeous and I love the beautiful blue. Works great with the white embossed frame.
ReplyDeleteDear Darlene
ReplyDeleteLove the bautiful embossing and the card too. Blessings to you and yours
What a beautiful embossing folder and I love how you cut out the center to frame the very cool sentiment die. I totally understand the overwhelming need to dive into new goodies. I'm there. Woke up thinking about it this morning. The things I'm working with now were new a while back, but I've acquired many newer things since then. I love it all no matter when I pick it up! Hugs, Darlene!
