I squeaked out another card this afternoon; this one fulfills the JUGS7 technique challenge, which is to use dry embossing on a birthday card, and the Saturday Sketch Challenge from Stamping 411:
My dad's birthday is on Thanksgiving this year, and as much as I would have loved to put a turkey on his card (and he would have laughed about it) I decided to make a "nice" card for him:
Now I don't have to worry about making a card along with my pies and all my other Thanksgiving goodies! Enjoy! If you have any questions, just shoot me an email; all products are SU!
Great card! More wonderful embossing on dp too - love that! What set is the birthday sentiment from - that's really nice. ~chris

I love the double stamped tree and the embossing folder with the designer paper. So much texture. Great job!
ReplyDeleteYou've achieved so much texture with just your mix of dsp's - the actual texture layer is just icing on the cake! Really great card, LeAnne! Your Dad should love it, I know I do!
ReplyDeleteThanks for playing along at the 411 this week!
I love the background paper that you embossed. How fabulous, what a great effect. I love the images you chose also, very manly.
