Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you're enjoying a relaxing day at home with family or friends. I made two cards for two challenges - the MWT Challenge at OWH and the Be-ye-thankful challenge at FCCB.
The MWT challenge was to use two colors together - turquoise & silver. Since I started this at night, I had a hard time finding turquoise paper - everything looked blue or green! I cut the word "thanks" from silver paper in my stash, using the Cricut Sampler cartridge. I used both the positive and negative parts of the cut (on page 61) for the two cards. I embossed the flower stamp in silver on white vellum and used an EK border punch for the scalloped border.
Here's my first card:
Here's my second card, using scraps left over from the first card:
I loved this color combo and of course, my pictures don't show the silver embossing very well. I'm going to do some more of this for OWH Valentine's Day cards....fun! Have a great day.

ReplyDeleteThese are stunning cards, Erika! I've never tried silver embossing powder; it looks gorgeous on the vellum. Great job!
ReplyDeleteErika, your cards are beautiful! Fantastic job with embossing on vellum! I like that you made two cards using the positive/negative of your cut file and I like that you used the same stamp vertically and horizontally. Great ideas and beautiful. I notice that your are in SC - me too.
