today is time for embossing with
we are supposed to be inspired by a song and as bad as it seems i really did not get the inspiration but i know of a lot of love songs and since heart day is very near, this is what i made for you.
but before i go into that, i want to apologize for the lack of consistency with my blog background as i try to find a suitable clean looking background without loosing my style, lol.
i liked the green one i had prior to this one, but it was hard on my eyes and i can't even imagine if you had to struggle too to read it, lol...so very sorry. i still working on it.
last night i made a new blog button you will find on the left column if you wish to grab the new one. little by little i will find something that suits my mood and easy for you to read and enjoy.
now onto to my
Adorable Card
4" square
the card base is black and the white has been embossed with the hearts cuttlebug folder.
another mess-up here with the black embossing powder
(i will change that but i will do it later--i had to upload for the cuttlebug spot)
the stamp is from my mps winter punnies clear stamp set and i cut one of the stamps in half to use the Adorable word only (i know--it was a really tough decision, lol)
on the hearts i used more embossing powder in silver and gold and
that texture comes from this wood mounted stamp i got at hobby lobby called distressed background--hehe, what an original name that is ;p
used versamark for the stamping.
and of course you already know this is the inside. i am liking stamping the inside with a border or an image.
do not forget you can participate in nilda's challenge. nilda has some prizes for the chosen winner.

i almost forgot to tell you about my crinkle ribbon.;p
i used organza and my heat gun--hehe--pretty easy. i bought the ribbon in white in case i need to ink it to change the color. nice tip!! ;p
thank you agnes...now i can make my own, lol.
take care and i love you all.
Lovely card. I'm loving that Cuttlebug folder (it's all over the internet projects right now). Now I'm wishing I had picked it up in the store when it was around; I'm sure it will be difficult to find with Valentine's Day looming.
ReplyDeleteCute card...love the embossing..love that distressed background stamp.
