I made this card for a challenge I just came across called Lets Squash It, intrigued I had a look and its a challenge for using embossing folders. One of the things I have promised myself to do this year is use my embossing folders (of which I have loads!) and also my stencils (ditto) This card was one of those that really didn't want to be made and there are several glaring mistakes on it but I started so I was going to finish, The embossing folder I've used for the background is High Seas from Stampin Up. The porthole stamp I've had for years, no idea where it came from and the fish and seaweeds are a cheap stamp set that came from The Range a couple of years ago, never used until now.

I can't see any glaring mistakes just a super card. I too made that promise to use my embossing folders. Hugs Mrs A.
ReplyDeleteHi, as you know I can be a bit of a perfectionist, but dear friend, I can not spot any mistakes, sometimes we see things which aren't obvious to others. I love your card, great idea to use stamps you haven't used before, the embossed water looks fabulous. You're back to making wonderful challenge cards. Thaks for sharing with us at Cardz 4 Guyz. We look forward to seeing you again. hugs. x Caz, DT
ReplyDeleteI can't see any mistakes glaring or otherwise on this gorgeous card Joan. I must admit I have a mountain of embossing folders that I must use more.
