I am working my way through a stack of designer papers this year, and when I saw Robyn’s card, I immediately thought of using some of the scraps from one of my paper pads to build a background. I glued several 1.5‑inch squares onto cream cardstock and then embossed the panel for added texture. From there, I layered it on another piece of cream cardstock and mounted everything on a rust card base.
To finish the card, I stamped the thanks sentiment, layered it on a scalloped oval, popped it up on dimensionals, and added a few grey candy dots for a simple, coordinated touch.
Thank you for stopping by to see my card today. Your thoughtful comments are always appreciated. If you leave a note, a visit to your blog will follow.

That's so effective Lisa, thanks for the inspiration embossing over the DP's as it looks really tactile and in those colours would make a perfect masculine card.

ReplyDeleteHi Lisa
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great card. Love that you stuck paper snippets on to a background then embossed it. I agree with Brenda that the colours would be brilliant for a masculine card. The extra little white dot embellishments are perfect.
