Today's card is a simple one layer card. The Dutch sentiment says: A small card for a big Thank You.
Vandaag een eenvoudig 1-laags kaartje. Tekststempeltje van Elke Verschooten.
I embossed the card a while ago, but I didn't finish it because the edges of the embossingfolder showed.
Today I masked the embossed part, and sponged with Distress Ink #Tumbled Glass and Peeled Paint. I used a black pen and grey colored pencil to add shadow.
Omdat de randjes van de embossingfolder zichtbaar waren, had ik deze kaart nooit afgemaakt, tot vandaag :) Het boordje bedekt met post-it papiertjes en de kaart gesponst met Distress Inkt #Tumbled Glass en Peeled Paint. Met een pen en grijs kleurpotlood een beetje schaduw gemaakt.



Fabulous card Godelieve will have to try this idea myself.

I love how you saved this! I don't like the embossed edges either, but this is a fantastic way to incorporate them and make it look like you WANTED that to happen. Just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely brilliant. I have those border folders and have messed up several card bases. ow know what to do with them.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! This really is truly clever.
Godelieve wat mooi en stijlvol. Zo elegant en de tekst is ook prachtig.
