It's all about the embossing ...
This week has flown past quicker than Concorde and even faster than the speed of light! It has been choker full of "stuff" that I have completed but I don't remember when, where and sometimes why (lol). Relaxing but busy weekend happening and looking forward to getting away. I just home not too many people are travelling on Friday evening ... I can but wish ...
The theme this week over at Polka Doodle Challenges is "add some embossing" and as I forgot to blog my card last week, thought I had better add it and hope no one noticed my absence ... eeeek! I have used papers, sentiment and embellishments from Work and Play 9, Love and Kisses.
I printed off all my elements and embossed them with different embossing folder. I then sanded back all the embossing to age the papers a bit.
Next I knocked the colour further back by adding fine white pearlescent pan pastel. This gave all the papers and embellies a great shimmery effect (which is not captured clearly in the photo).
I then began layering all my papers and images. I mixed embossed pieces with "plain" pieces which has given a wonderful textural feel to my card. I think it also has helped each stand out, (if that makes sense).
I then added some lace, little hearts and ribbon to add further textural elements to the card. Although it is "busy", I do love how all the elements blend together.
Right gotta get myself packed, the house organised and get an early night. Have a wonderful weekend everyone and catch up with you all on Sunday evening,
Lou
