My inspiration for this sketch was the embossed paper I received from my Secret Santa...Sandi "Merkins" Freeman. I do not have an embossing machine of any type so the paper was really a treat! Thanks Sandi!!! I did cut my stripes on the diagonal for a little visual movement and matted them to see how that looked...seemed to work so I kept it. A sticker from October Afternoon with black matting. I love this card so much it may not make it into my OWH box unless my conscience gets the best of me. A pretty easy card to make which I needed because I worked today.
This is a fantastic card, and I just love the diagonal stripes! Well done!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card-- looks like you picked the perfect embossed panel! Hope it makes it to your OWH box too--someone will love to receive this beauty :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great card to start the year off with! I love that embossed cardstock, too. You did a great job of showing it off and tying it into the shape of your focal point.

Very classic! Love it!
ReplyDeleteVery nice card! The embossing is the perfect touch!
ReplyDeleteGreat card, Linda! I love the way you matted the strips. When you make a card that you love too much to give away, that just means you should make two of them ;) Thanks for joining us in this week's OWH Stars & Stamps Sketch Challenge!
ReplyDeleteThat is really beautiful embossed paper. Beautifully showcased on this card!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card! Your embossing is so beautiful.
