Hello ;0)
I Hope you have all had a wonderful weekend! Mine was spent relaxing and watching lot's of TV which I don't normally do apart from Coronation Street (I'm a big fan).
Today I have made a card not quite my usual bright style but it's good to try out other things and I'm finding I'm using things I forgot I even had since I'm now only on the 1 design team.
I wanted to try an aperture card using my nestabilities and because the card base is only 4.5 x 4.5" I used a small labels 1 die. With the cut out I embossed it using one of my embossing folders called????? I'll let you know it's the one that gives a wood effect lol I then used my never used before Chisel it tool and sanded across the embossing. I'm really pleased with the outcome and will be using this more often.
I then framed around the aperture and also sanded around the edge. The little birdie stamp is from a set called 'Feathered Friends' from DoveCraft and I popped him using 3D foam squares. The corner stamp is also a DoveCraft stamp from the 'Wild Asparagus' set. I finished the card off by adding a few branches made with my MS punch and a sentiment.
I will be entering this card into the following challenges:
Thanks for looking
