E is for Embossing - ABC Challenge

Made another card for another challenge while playing with my new toy, this one's for ABC Challenge where E stands for embossing. I wanted to keep the design simple to show off the beautiful flowers. I distressed the paper and its edges with sanding block and paper stresser (love that thing!). The fairy stamp echoes the swirls on the embossing folder, with a darker borders to frame and lift it. I stamped my greeting onto a tiny plastic tag which I attached with silver embroidery floss and a jump ring.

Stamps: Finnstamper / Morning Star
Inks: Distress Ink 'Dusty Concord' / StazOn
Embossing folder: 'Stylized Flowers'
Paper: BG 'Lilykate'

Missed you

A couple of my friends had been on working holiday in Down Under for almost a year, so when they finally returned from the other side of the globe, some serious partying ensued... I wanted to make a nice and cheery card to tell how glad we all were that they were back home.

I cut a freehand scalloped edge on one corner of the card blank and fixed stamped flowers on top with foam pads. I spelled the greeting with rub-on letters and since the inside of the card is visible, adhered a panel of pale green paper inside the card.

Papers: HOTP, Tiimari
Stamps: Inkadinkado Doodle Flowers

Rub-ons: All My Memories
