Good morning Friends! Today starts are new challenge at 4 Crafty Chicks. This week our hostess is the super talented and crafty Lori! Lori has issued a challenge to us to use Embossing. Since I love all of her beautiful embossed cards I have decided to CASE her this week! I know my card is not near as clean and classy as her creations but I just had to give it a go. I have used a Gus image from Bugaboo called Gus Birthday Recount. My husband just had a birthday and this was his card. I colored Gus with my Spectrum Noir Pens and did a simple rectangle cut. The embossed piece is card stock cut at a diagnol and embossed using a Cuttlebug folder. The other peice is cut the same as the red only I did not emboss it. The sentiment came with the image and then I added some flat pearls for a little bit of pop. Some bakers twine from my stash finished it off.
Here is a close up of this great image:
And...Here is the card I CASED from Lori:
How did I do? Am I even close??? I love Lori's use of color here and the green and blue is one of my favorite combos! I have just got to get me that embossing folder!
I am entering Gus into the following challenges:
