Hi and thanks for hopping with us for the Around the World on Wednesday crew. This month we have a technique challenge - embossing. I love dry embossing using folders as it adds so much texture to a card without being too overpowering and distracting from the focal image. But for me this card was an extra challenge as I have very limited access to my stamping supplies at the moment as my studio is undergoing renovations and EVERYTHING is packed away! I don't even have access to my photography spot. I am having such withdrawal symptoms too! So this card might not be super technical but it fills the brief! I had these elements in my work-in-progress bin so I am quite pleased (and relieved) that it turned out ok. I began with a thick basic white card base then added a layer of embossed white cardstock using the timeworn 3D embossing folder - this is my absolute favourite folder at the moment I seem to use it on almost everything! And the Beautiful Thistle bundle is stunning, and I enjoyed colouring it with my blends markers then adding a layer of wink of stella for a bit of sparkle. I used the dies to cut it out quickly and easily - love that! I then added the sentiment and a twine bow to complete it.
