May is a busy
month for birthdays and my first card of the month is for a female friend, so I’ve
used the lovely Single Rose Bride from Sami Stamps.
This image
practically screams elegant to me but in a lovely simple way so I had to go CAS
with the card so off I went looking for a suitably CAS sketch to use. Instead I found the colour inspiration over
at Addicted to CAS and realised I didn’t need a sketch, just those colours and
my image, nothing more, and I love the result.
I’ve embossed the
image rather than colouring it to go with my CAS but elegant feel. Over at As You Like It they are asking which
style of embossing is your favourite. I
love wet embossing, I love the raised texture it creates and I love the
different colours, particularly the metallic ones. Funny that wet embossing is my favourite when
I have no more than 20 pots of embossing powders but I must own at least ten
times as many embossing folders, so goes the contradictory nature of a crafter!
As my card
features a female image and is for a female friend I am also entering it in the
current challenge over at Come and Get It.
