For the Technique Blog Hop this month, we are featuring the "Irresistible Texture" technique shown on page 11 of the Seasonal Expressions supplement from Close To My Heart.

This card came together quickly using Freshly Made Sketches (FMS166). For an "Irresistible Texture" on this card, I used the new Scallop Embossing Folder. The background of the card is a piece of Pacifica cardstock which has been embossed with the Scallop folder. A 'thanks' sentiment from the You Mean The World To Me stamp set was stamped on a piece of White Daisy cardstock. In order to repeat the scallop, a piece of Black Shimmer Trim was edged using the Scallop punch, and then some Metallic Baker's Twine adds a final touch to the card. Since the Take Heart Ideas blog December Challenge is "anything goes," this qualifies since it uses all CTMH products.

Great card! I love the blue with the black and white.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Cat. I wanted to do something different than Holiday colors.
DeleteI love how the sentiment is still the centerpiece of the card, but the embossing and the shimmery black make is so elegant. Thank you for playing along with us at Freshly Made Sketches.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kim. It is a simple card, but I still really like the way it turned out.
DeleteI love all the texture you've put into this card. From the beautiful embossing to the twine, it makes for a gorgeous card. Thanks so much for joining us at Freshly Made Sketches.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Karren. I always enjoy following the FMS sketches.
