Less is More 61 Lucky Dip

Good morning all my blogging friends, I've been having a play today and have made a card for this week's Less is More Challenge.  Do pop over there and have a look at both Chrissie and Mandi's inspirational cards totally gorgeous....  So this is their challenge this week:-

Being the fifth week of the month we have our "Lucky Dip"
We have chosen a
Picture Inspiration
for you from the fabulous

Design Seeds
It is a wonderful source of colour combinations.
This is just such a gorgeous inspiration picture I love those guys at Design Seeds (well worth a visit).  So on to my card, and here it is:-

 The sentiment reads: Thank you for being my friend
And this is what I did to create my card: I inked up an embossing folder (cArt-Us) with various colours of Versa Colour inks and then ran it through my Cuttlebug.  It was quite pale so I went over the surface area again with the same ink pads to give a bit more colour.  I then used some Stamping Up Champagne Mist which I dipped my finger into the lid and then gentle spread a little of this gorgeous glimmer paint over the surface of the embossed area (sorry you can't see that in these photos...)  I then stamped my greeting (Hero Arts) on to a scrap of paper that I had cut off of a scalloped card and raised this onto 3D pads for dimension.  I finished off the card with some pearls and a flower.  Hope that you like it!

Catch up with some of my LIMette buddies soon!

Until next time...

Happy Crafting

This is just gorgeous, thanks for the inspiration of how to use an embossing folder for more than just background. I have had my eye on that folder but resisted so far!
