I was so excited to see Holley featured on this week's sketch. Way to go Holley! I decided to break out the Cosmo Cricket paper I won on the Moxie Fab World Blog. I have been trying to use more stamps on my cards, so I stamped the ribbon in addition to the sentiment.
I embossed the black using my cutter as a guide and then sanded. I know you can buy sanders for scrapbooking, but I like to use the four-sided nail filers, they are super cheap at the dollar stores.
I think this would make a great "anything, anyone" card. Unfortunately, I cut the background paper short, so I had to add a piece at the bottom. I must have been dizzy from hopping which I am still trying to get through. Measure twice and cut once. I should make that into a sign for myself. Have a great day!
love these colors together. I thought you had a wire mesh on the black but then actually read it and saw that you embossed it. Looks great
