Happy Monday All!
I took a little time yesterday to play around with a quick design I spotted over on Pinterest a while back. I love my 3D embossing folders ... you can just do so many things with them to bring them to life!!
What do you think??
The 3D embossing folder I've used is by Lisa Horton - 'Camellia Cluster' (LHCEF043) and the sentiment panel is a stamp/die set by Pink Fresh 'Perfect Sentiments'.
LOL ... would you believe it was just now that I noticed I had placed my embossed panel upside down on my card front ... duh!! Oh well, too late ... as I glued the sentiment panel on so no way of taking it off without destroying the card.
It should have looked like this with the colors running red to purple - left to right.
Oh well ... still a pretty card! LOL
Ok time to 'get to work' ... I have several card orders to finish up and I'm thrilled to say my North Carolina (she used to live close to me here in Ohio) crafting friend Sandy is coming up Wednesday to spend a few days with us and she & I will be crafting up a storm plus running around to a few stores that she doesn't have in NC.
One of those stores is Hollo's Paper Craft which is a paper company on the outskirts of Cleveland where we can buy our card stock by the pound in a variety of weights & colors. Another spot we want to hit is in the other direction ... south ... down in Amish Country where another local friend of hers discovered a few crafting stores that we went to when she came up in April for the Adventures in Stamping convention but at that time neither of us 'took enough cash' with us to purchase as much as we would have liked! LOL We'll be prepared this time!! LOL
Here's a few challenges to share in:

What a great techique to use with the embossing folder and it looks absolutely beautiful, even upside down :) Done that more times than I'd like to admit!!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the visit with your friend, sounds like you have some fun things planned!

This is so awesome! Fun and fresh design.
ReplyDeleteEither way you turn it it's gorgeous! I'm nuts about my embossing folders, too. You've got some really fun times planned with your friend. Nothing like that near me at all. I miss the days when a friend and I would have a leisurely lunch, then spend the afternoon at the local papercrafts shop, and wrap it up with smoothies at a coffee shop nearby. Just park downtown and have a nice walk to all the shops, sigh... Times have changed.
