Despite a couple of hours of playing around with new techniques, I only have one more card to share from the Online Card Class. But I'm thrilled to have figured out how to selectively emboss using an embossing folder, and know the playing around will pay off in the future. (I also played around with a faux watercolor technique, but it wasn't very successful.)
Two of the nicest ministers in our Presbytery are married to one another, and they just had a baby girl last week. I couldn't wait to make a card to welcome Lydia Grace. (Isnt' that a beautiful name?) I can't wait to meet her.
By using a shim made with a couple layers of chipboard, I was able to send my cardstock through the Cuttlebug with the embossing folder, and have a blank spot for the sentiment. Then I scored a line on each side of it. I like this look and know I'll use it again.
This cute heart was cut with Papertrey's Stitched Heart die, and made a perfect way to highlight the inside sentiment.
Both sentiments are from "Bitty Baby Blessings" by Papertrey Ink. The ink and cardstock are "Doll Pink" from Simon Says, and the patterned paper is from an old MME paper pad, "Happy Go Lucky."
