Happy Tuesday everyone!!! Hope you all had a great weekend???
- Popped my chicks up with Stampin Dimensionals.
As usual ours went by way tooooo fast!!! My hubby left for a business trip Sunday and I'm home with the girls....so you know I'll be doing some serious stampin' - LOL!!!
Anyway - it's another round of the Flourishes Timeless Tuesday - this week brought to you by the fabulous Betty Wright!!!
For detailed information on this Challenge plus all the Samples please visit the Flourishes Blog!!! Don't forget to check out the SPECIAL OFFER ON SPELLBINDER DIES as well!!!!
Betty is challenging us to *EMBOSS IT* our cards/projects. There are a lot of different types of embossing options to choose from. In addition, there are many different techniques to combined with embossing. We would love to see what you all create!!!
My choice of embossing was - dry embossing - using the Cuttlebug Folder *Leafy Branch*. I think it's one of my fav folders!!!
Now to my card - I just had to combined today's *FTTC8* with the *FS111 - featuring Beate*. If I haven't mentioned it before, I adore Beate and love her creations!!!
I have to tell you really quick how much I have grown as a Stamper because of Beate - she was so sweet and allowed me to be part of her past *Be Inspired* Design Team!!! She is and will always be an inspiration to me!!! Beate you will always have a special place in my heart - thank you!!! I decided to case this fabulous *Flourishes Fold Card* from her. I also love how Beate did the inside of her card - click here to see it.
I kept the same layout and changed the following :
- Used different colors - Tangerine Tango, Baja Breeze DP.
- Popped my chicks up with Stampin Dimensionals. - Added a flower (Making Memories - Chloe's Closet Collection)with the button (SU Latte Designer Button).
- Used a different sentiment from the same Set inside the card.
- Plus I added the embossing with the CB *Leafy Branch* folder.
Since I was in a mood to create a little something extra....(actually I was playing with my new Big Shot machine - love that thingy!!!!)..... I decided to make a little matching pillow box and as you can tell I also embossed it with the same CB folder and added the same flower with the SU Latte Designer Button.
Well I hope you like my take on Beate's card??? Now I can't wait to see what kind of embossing you will choose!!! If you want to play along please use the keyword *FTTC8* when you download your card into the gallery!!!
Don't forget to check my friends on their take of the Challenge - Becca, Betty, Cindy, Dee and Kimberly.
Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!!!
