With social distancing I have been creating a lot of hello or thinking of you card and sending them to friends I haven’t been able to see for awhile, just to let them know I care. It was time to create a few more. I pulled out Altenew’s Garden Treasure to make a card. This is a layering stamp set, and when I am using that kind of stamp I usually stamp several. This time I created five cards with the images that I stamped. Each card uses a different die cut background, each that embossed with a Stampin’ Up embossing folder.
This first card uses a scalloped circle die. It was embossed using the Stampin’ Up Subtle Embossing Folder. It is one of my favorite. It adds such a lovely, subtle visual interest to a card. I decided to emboss the front of the cardbase as well. The sentiment was cut from silver mirror cardstock.
