Hello Peeps !!! Happy Monday !!! One of the girls in our group loves how a simple dry embossing can change your whole creation. I agree with Colleen because these cards did just that. I embossed the background using the Lacy Brocade, added the scallop frame and a strip of ribbon. I can't just stop at one card, so I did three of the same designs. Hope you like it. Hop over to Jean's blog ( Bear Hugs and Inky Paws) and see what she did for her Simply Simple card. RECIPE: Stamps: Together Forever, Thankful Thinking Paper: Pool Party, Basic Black, Whisper White Ink: Basic Black, markers Accessoires: striped ribbon, brads Tools: Big Shot, Lacy Brocade EF, circle punch, scallop punch, dimensionals Thanks for stopping by.
