Emboss and die


It's challenge time at
The Crafty Catz.

Our theme is now always
Anything Goes


This card is a variation on a card I saw. I started with an embossed frame using a score board. The centre rectangle was then cut out. I took a piece of white card and stencil from Lavinia stamps and stencilled the card with some lovely pastel distress oxides. The frame was then layered on top of the stencilling. The white heart was die cut and embossed with a folder, then added within the frame. The flower stem and sentiment were also die cut. I love the contrast between the pastels and black.

I would like to enter this in the following challenges
Creative Knockouts - Stencils/die cuts
Fab and Funky - Stencil/embossing
Stencil Fun - Stencil
