Boo Boo Time!
It's fun showing off my boo-boo's LOL
I wanted to use lots of embossed textures on this card, soooooo...
that meant using the dotted embossing folder around the image, but not ON the image!
I carefully fussy cut a mask from THICK CHIP BOARD to match the mice in a cup.
Then ran the entire thing through my Grand Calibur.
Guess what? Those embossing folders are STRONG! The EF embossed right through chip board!
Next time I'll try cutting a piece of thick plastic.
Next time I'll try cutting a piece of thick plastic.
Therefore, my mice look like they have some sort of pox.
What can I say? Here is the close-up!
I am in love with the Crafter's Companion Die'Sires Embossalicious embossing folders! BEAUTIFUL! The FLORAL WONDER was used on the white heart layered, and covered with Lime Pearlescent Brilliance ink. I hated layering on top of the green background. The card base is really too pretty to cover up. The VINTAGE ROSE VINE folder is gorgeous! I used a sanding block on the coordinations paper to bring out the texture:
To provide shaped visual interest, a thin frame was creating using the Nestabilities Scallop Squares. The actual square was used in another project, leaving this pretty frame. It's a great way of using the negative portion of our "left overs" when die cutting.
Inside:
I recently hit the jackpot! A drawer of forgotten lace holders was rediscovered.
These are laces from the 1940s, 50s and 60s, formerly belonging to my Great Aunt Agnes.
How surprising to discover one of the laces was pale yellow with blue detailing for my second card!
Please notice that these mice have not been afflicted with the pox in this card:

The Nesting Hearts contains 11 dies, and the scallop hearts has five dies.
