My card to share today is a quick and easy one that showcases a sweet embossing folder. The rest of the card falls under the #simplestamping profile. It is a pretty one to make multiples of as well.
EMBOSSING
The dry embossed layer is one of several focal points to me. I love the look that embossing folders can add to a very simple card. The one I have used is the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder. Those little flowers look good with most anything. Embossing is an alternative to using DSP as a layer, or stamping a background layer. For this card there are any number of different embossing folders that would have worked just as well. I hope you will give your embossing folders a second look as I have.
STAMPS
This bold sentiment is from the fun With You In Mind stamp set. It is a stand alone set that offers bold sentiments like this one for birthday, best wishes, thank you and thinking of you. Plus the addition of the small icon stamps to boost your sentiment. And it is only $20.00 for a nice group of stamps.
The Happy Birthday is one single stamp. Again, I love the mix of fonts. Those always get a second look from me. I used the cupcake stamp twice. One is full strength ink and the other is stamped off. Plus I added a second of the icon stamps in the heart. It was chosen to add more to sentiment, but to also tie in a touch of blue from the DSP strips.
PAPERS
To pick the predominant paper from this card is difficult. The DSP strips are what designated the other colors so I will begin there. These strips are from the Beautiful Bokeh Designer Series Paper. It is a 6×6 pack of fun colors that all have the bokeh dots or the more ink splatter look. The two outside strips are the ink splatter as I call it. And the center one is the Bokeh. These are the two sides of one sheet, so you can choose as you see fit. These strips measure 1 X 3.
The card base is Berry Burst from the bokeh sheet. And the embossed layer is Fresh Freesia from the splatter side. These pair great together. I could have added a Balmy Blue but thought just the blue heart was sufficient to highlight it.
EXTRAS
There are various Extras all over this card. First is the Frayed White Ribbon. It grounds the floating sentiment. Then there are the two cupcakes which are fussy cut and added to the opposite corners of the sentiment. And finally I have added a scattering of the Iridescent Pearls to some of the embossed flowers for the bling!
