LIM 13 congratulations

The new challenge theme on Less is More this week is  congratulations or thank you - and my  new Wedding Belle stamps from Chocolate Baroque just  fitted the congratulations theme.
My brain is only working in simple mode at the moment - am not used to this much sunshine! - so a very basic card this week. I rounded the corners of the white 5"x7"base card, added a pale gold mat under a piece of white card that I ran though my big shot  with my Spellbinders flourish impressabilities stencil - I was very pleased with how well it embossed, as it had just been used as a stencil before. I gave it a quick spray with gold spray & sparkle, as it looked a little stark plain - the cut out stamp was gold embossed, and the dress also had a quick spray of gold. before mounting onto a pale gold nestie shape. The greeting is a peel off - I am sure I found a list of instructions to get an epson printer to print in gold or silver somewhere, but can't find it, or remember where I got it from either, so the peel-off had to do.

  3. Love the embossing, I was trying to see if it was the same Stencil I have but it's rather difficult to tell from the scan. If you could possibly take pictures instead I'm sure the cards would look more as they do in real life... scanning seems to suck the life out of cards somehow.
    It's a lovely card and very topical at the moment too!
    DO join us again next time!

  5. Love that image...and I tried to see the embossing but can't really tell what the pattern is. I do love embossing folders, so I'm always on the lookout for one I might not have! Beautiful card!
