The Other Wall Card
This wall has a totally different look from yesterday's card. First off, yesterday's brick wall was vertical and today's is horizontal. With the new 6 x 6 embossing folders the card front can fit in the embossing folder in either direction~~a nice feature. Secondly, today's brick wall is much lighter toned. I used Crumb Cake and Smokey Slate on white embossed cardstock and layered that on Crumb Cake cardstock before adhering it to the white card base. (Have I mentioned lately how much I like the new heavier weight white cardstock SU offers?) Once I was pleased with the brick color, I then wondered what I should use to embellish it. Of course, the Vintage Leaves called out! The leaves are stamped in Crumb Cake on white cardstock and then sponged in Cherry Cobbler, Hello Honey & Meadow Moss. A layer of clear Wink of Stella was brushed on the leaves and a little of the gold thread added behind them. The sentiment was cut using a die from the Hello You thinlits. The brick embossing folder is one I highly recommend adding to your collection. Maybe tomorrow I will post a card where I use the embossing folder just as it is without any ink sponged on. Until then, have a great day!
I am married (50 years now~~oh my!) and have two children:
Jen and Matt. Jen and her husband blessed us with a beautiful granddaughter who is now 19 years old. I am also a "grandma" to five dogs, 2 birds and more! My dog, Charlie, is our spoiled Shihtzu and I have a cute little parrotlet, Nipper, that is 8 years old.
