The Friday Mashup # 32

A quick second post for this Friday. There is a new Challenge posted on The Friday Mashup and I happily started working on this card first this morning.

So here is the "Mashup" Challenge :
  1. Make a project featuring "A Girly Theme".
  2. Or Make a project using "Your Favorite Technique".
  3. Or "Mash it Up" and create a "Girly project using your Favorite Technique".

I struggle a little with girly cards, but I think I almost made it :). I have been loving embossing this past little while so I used both heat embossing and an embossing folder.


I embossed the designer paper with an embossing folder, it is new so the impression was deep enough to go through the DP. I decided to give the card a little bit of a shabby look with some brown edging to enhance some of the small tears. I embossed the bottom portion of the DP with Frosted Glass embossing power to give a little variation in colour.

I heat embossed this cute flower three time then cut out the different layers and added foam tape between each layer to give it dimension.I finished with an embossed Hello.  Just before I posted my husband walked in and said nice card I like the dints.

Supplies: Natural white and brown cardstock, Designer Paper - Unknown, Verve stamps-Sunny Day, TPC-Cardmaking Hello, Cuttlebug folder, misc ribbon.

Cheers,
Nina

    Oh Sister,

    A touchy card. Can't wait for the day we can "feel" cards on our screens for yours would be amazing.

    I think you hit the girly on the head - very classy girl at that.

    Thanks for showing!
    Love,
    Big Sis
