I made two cards for the February blog hop challenge over at PTI. I bought a scallop punch a while ago but haven't used it much ... here's my chance! It actually embosses as well but it's hard to tell in these photos.
I layered some Basic Grey ambrosia papers and used my Faux Ribbon stamp set sentiments from Papertrey in Versafine Black Onyx. Fun bright colours for a change! :)
Here's another one I did with a whole bunch of layered patterned papers from My Mind's Eye Garden Vignettes. This is glitter cardstock and the patterns are sumptuous! Some corner rounding and it's all done. I made a long skinny card with a finished size of 3 ½ x 8 ½ to fit in a business envelope. Here's a closeup before I had finished:
I decided to add some buttons to my creation so this is what it looks like now:
And here is a view of the whole card,albeit slightly cut off on one side of the view!
and before it was a little more ho-hum without the buttons. Slightly unfinished, I decided!
Perhaps with this humongous size you can see the embossed punch detail. I kept it very simple since there were so many patterns.
