Dotted all over

As occasionally happens when crafting cards for a different challenge the idea for this one popped into my mind. If fits the theme of birthday at https://aaacards.blogspot.com/ and because of the EF it also fits into the CYHTP although I didn’t incorporate the twist element with this one.

I used a swiss dots folder that came with my mini We R machine and on two squares of CS, I embossed only a portion. After attaching the bigger square to the card front I then worked on the other layer. Using an alphabet set of dies from First Edition Craft I die cut the letters from scrap CS. These dies create the holes and cut pretty well so not too much poking is required. I used a piece of tape and a T-ruler to help me with placement. Before attaching the letters properly I stamped the Birthday word using part of a stamp from Hampton Arts. My placement could have been a bit lower but I made it work and then attached the other letters. I used some twine from my stash that is similar in tone to the letters and tied it as you see. I didn’t realize that I had ink on my fingers and had smudged a section of the card so the little embellishments from Trinity Stamps were away of fixing that. This layer was popped up on some foam tape. It looks more complicated than it actually is and I like the effectiveness of the the partial embossing on the layers.

Thanks for stopping by, I appreciate you, your time and any comments you may leave for me.

  9. What a cool design, love how you used the dots on opposite halves, and how those letters with the holes follow the dot theme! Thanks for sharing with us at Can You Handle the Pressure!
