| snowflake embossing folder: tim holtz/sizzix; colored and blended dry with gelato crayons from faber-castell; patterned paper and tag: my mind's eye; sticky back gems: eyelet outlet; crinkly ribbon from my stash; adhesives: elmers brand gluetape, 3m foam tape |
i confess that although i have plenty of beautiful embossing folders, i tend to forget all about them until there is a specific challenge that involves embossing. then, for a couple of weeks afterwards, i think, "that looks awesome! i should emboss more!" before re-forgetting again until the next challenge. ah well. luckily they do come along periodically and this time gave me a chance to use one of my favorite snowflake folders, on watercolor paper, then dry blend gelato crayons onto the raised snowflake areas. i've also used some beautiful hand-dyed crinkly ribbon that for some reason looks terribly odd and a bit grimey in the photo, but i assure you is quite lovely IRL. meanwhile, my layout is based on the awesome current (#482) sketch saturday:
stephanie has a jawdroppingly lovely card to show you... why not hop over to ♥JINGLE BELLES♥ and see that right now, darlings?
Great card, love the embossing and that fab ribbon. X
ReplyDeletelove that this is tied up like a package, so darling.
ReplyDeleteLauren, I LOL at the title of your post, hubby and I are always saying this because we are convinced it is what Boscat is saying when we tell her to stop doing something. Love your interpretation of my sketch, I too am a victim of forgetting about my vast collection of embossing folders, perhaps we should make a 2018 resolution to use one a week? Thanks for playing at Sketch Saturday this time. Claire xx
ReplyDeleteI love the purple and blue colors on this beautifully gift-wrapped card! The snowflakes are so very pretty!
