CAS3 Day 9

Hello! So glad to have you here today! We're on Day 9 (hard to believe!) of Online Card Classes' Clean & Simple 3. Today's focus is on Textural Effects, and I'm afraid I had to cheat a little to get my card finished. Can't find my stencil anywhere, and that really upsets me!


So, instead of creating a card based on the video by Debby Hughes as I'd planned, I took liberty with Julie Ebersole's directions and colored here and there on cardstock that had been embossed. The piece was too small to create the card by itself, so I did end up layering the embossed piece onto a colored card base. Also, I did not have the necessary non-aperture die to leave a place for the sentiment within the embossing, so I put it on a piece of vellum and attached across the bottom. I just got this in Gina K Design's new Shabby Spring Stamp TV Kit with the stamp set called Spring Blessings.

This card barely follows the guidelines given in the videos, but I still like it and am putting it in the Class Gallery. The embossing folder with the birds (don't know the name) is one of my favorites. Hope you like it as much as I do!

Thanks for stopping by today! I appreciate your visits and comments very much and enjoy learning from each of you. See you in class again tomorrow!
