I have a friend going through a tough time after losing a close family member, so I made this card to send. I'm not used to doing sympathy cards, at all... I think this may even be my first one ever.... I'm also entering this in a few challenges.
Whimsie Doodles and
Just Add Ink both had the challenge to use embossing on a card. I embossed the swirl on the Kraft card stock, and then placed the butterflies on top with pop dots.
The photo isn't too good, it was taken at night, with my halogen lamp as the lighting.... never a good combo...
The colour is actually Rich Razzleberry from the Stampin' Up! Autumn mini catalogue (which only has another month to go...) The background stamp is Hero Arts, while the butterflies are Grace Taylor designs I believe. The scallop punch, card stock, inks and embossing powders are all Stampin' Up!

ReplyDeleteis taht heat embossing? I so want to get into that.
yep, its heat embossing, its something I'm a little addicted to... I keep going back to it as a way to snazz up a card
