My lovely blogging friend Maureen sent me this Darice embossing folder 'Circle Interlock as a thank you gift and I had it in the back of my mind that I had a Christmas paper in my stash with the same pattern on. A search of said stash revealed that I did, in burgundy (a small piece and green a whole sheet.. I chose to use the burgundy and matched it to a piece of card stock of the same shade which I embossed with the folder. The sentiment came from a paper stack 'Forever Christmas Cards' paper by Hot Off The Press which I think was a freebie in a magazine.
The remainder of the card stock I used to make the Poinsettia flowers. (blooming Poinsettia style 861 by Poppy Stamps). Gems from my stash for the stamens.
Entering into the following challenges:
Rudolph Day: Something festive.

I think it great that your patterned paper matches the pattern of the folder embossed paper! Poinsettias are always a favorite of mine. TYFS and playing with us at Christmas Card Challenge #39. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is such a pretty card. Love how the paper matches the embossing. I have been saving your posts so that I can catch up all at once but that is not going to happen so I will just slowly do it when I get time.
ReplyDeleteOh Mrs A - what a perfect match the paper is to the embossing folder! And the colours, including the poinsettias, all co-ordinate so well too.
ReplyDeleteBTW, it appears that Couture Creations have done a run of their Tied Together embossing folders - they seem to be on most online shop websites again now - costing from £3.95 each at the lowest end of the prices I've seen. All that fuss huh?!
Hugs, Di xx

ReplyDeleteThe development of a replica watches uk Fine Watchmaking manufacture movement can't just be improvised. That's why CODE41 called upon one of the best fake rolex Swiss designers to help out. The Timeless factory, established in 2008, is different in that it produces replica rolex all of the components of its movements in-house, except for the balance wheel. It's high-precision fake watches machining department is based in Geneva and staffed by 40 people, while its watchmaking rolex replica workshop, employing 10 expert watchmakers, is located in the Swiss Jura. This is a defining fake Breitling feature that deserves to be mentioned, as it's not uncommon to find so-called manufacture movements fitted with components coming from mass-produced fake IWC movements.
