Well here we, are for the very last time this year with our 31st Blog Hop and I find it hard to believe that yet another year has managed to slide by me.
If you have started else where, you will have come from Kabrina who always inspires me, so wonder what she has done for us with the sketch that Teneale has prepared for us.
I found this sketch to fit right into a class I had thought I would prepare for my last class of the year. I wanted my cards to be simple but elegant, as special card that they would give to someone who appreciates the love that goes into each and every card that they make.
My initial thought, turned straight to the Embellished Ornaments Thinlits Dies and just how glamorous they would look using the Gold Foil Sheets along with Black Glimmer cardstock.
I wanted a bit of texture on my card front, so using the Softly Falling Embossing Folder achieved that designed effect. Do you use your embossing folders to add texture, or ever colour? Just so simple yet effective.
We have wonderful designer papers with the gold running through them and coupled with the Foil papers allowed me to quite simply make this card. Now no card is complete without an inside, by just adding the foil to one side of my card finished it.
Next you are off to see what miss Teneale has done.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, lets all try to share a thought for people struggling this Christmas and spread a little Christmas cheer.
