Hi Everyone!
As usual, I'm super busy today but when I saw this morning's Free For All challenge #F4A788- "Embossing Central" over @ Split Coast Stampsers, I just had to take a break and play along! They asked us to use an embossing folder as our focal point.
Ranger Ink sent me a bunch of goodies last week and included in the package were some Perfect Pearls Pigment kits. I thought this would be the perfect time to try them out!
I have to say....I LOVE "EM!!!!!
It sure added a touch of elegance to what would have been a very plain card.
Here's another shot I took just as the sun was coming up. I couldn't decide which picture I like best so I'm posting them both! :)
The cardstock is Kraft from Discount Card Stock. I added a tiny piece of the "hoarded" cardboard that I scavenged from a fire pit bowl package (see yesterday's post). Hubby thought I was crazy so I can't wait to show him this card!
I used Provo Crafts "Leafy Branch" folder.
The stunning ribbon is from Really Reasonable Ribbon. It is their Sheer Ruffle Edge Gold and Old Gold Organza. (Using this beautiful ribbon over a piece of trash cardboard somehow felt wrong!) I twisted the organza before I placed in over the other ribbon and really like the look. ;)
I distressed the edges of the paper and stamped sentiment with Ranger Inks Coffee Archival Ink.
The sentiment is from Clear Dollar Stamp's- Heartfelt Sentiments set.

Thanks for taking a closer look!
Now back to work I go! ;)
