Morning folks..
Oh what a night - not sure what was wrong, but I didn't sleep all that well last night.. I was sort of awake from around half two, so decided at 5.30am to get the laptop and talk to my Sis in Canada.. she was just off to bed, so all I can do now is upload a card.. ha ha.
So. What have I got for you today? A clean and simple, one layered embossed card. Is that okay?
This is the theme for this weeks challenge over at the Simply Less is More blog (I love that blog!) and I love the challenge of keeping things nice, simple, fresh and clean-looking. I opted for dry embossing with a brass stencil, but you could go for heat embossing if you'd prefer.
Here you go.. my card for today.
The daisies on my card have always been a firm favourite with me since Docrafts bought out their brass stencils years ago. They always emboss so well, and I love the fact that there are different sizes. I started off by drawing two lines on the back of the card with pencil, and embossing random daisies along the centre and also upto the lines, making sure I didn't go over the edges. I then put the card onto my XCUT score board and embossed two lines, top and bottom.
I finished the card off with the Tiny Tags from Stampin' Up {I haven't used these for aaaaages!!} and a little bow. I even broke out the silver peel offs to add a border to the embossed edge.
I hope you like it.. I do have another to show you tomorrow.. as I couldn't decide between the two designs. So check back soon. xx
That really is a beautiful stencil. Love the bow with the little tags.
