Pretty Flowers Dry Embossed Thank You Card. Share it on a Sunday

 Good Morning Everyone,

Happy Sunday - Hope you are having a fabulous weekend.

This week for our Share it on a Sunday theme we are following a Tic Tac Toe board. For those unfamiliar - it's a grid of nine elements for papercrafting and you have to choose a line of three elements to use on your project. So, its like Tic Tac Toe or Noughts & Crosses as we know it here in the UK.

I chose Pink, Embossing and Rhinestones. But it turns out my card, completely by accident, could fit  Pink, Thank You and Ribbon 😂




Here's the actual board we had to follow. It's full of some great combinations, but I felt that this one would push me a little bit more to do something a bit different.




Measurements

4pc - 2 1/4" x 1 1/2"

-------------------------------

Take the Gray Granite and fold along the score line to create you card base and add one of the larger piece of basic white to the inside, and the other to the card front.

Bring in your Cut and emboss machine and emboss the Blushing Bride panel with the painted texture embossing folder and the four piece of Magenta Madness with the pretty flowers embossing folder. I layed out these four pieces close together so that you can see the pattern follow and fit across the panels.

Take the Blushing Bride card and a sponge or blending brush and lightly add Blushing Bride ink to the raised areas to give extra definition and depth. Add this panel to the card front.

Repeat the sponging on the Magenta Madness Cardstock pieces with Magenta Madness ink, this time I went in a little heavy with the inking, you need it a bit more as its a much darker colour. Layer these pieces onto the basic white pieces and add to your card, paying attention to the design of the pattern again to make sure it's exactly how you want it to look.

Take the small square of basic white and turn it so its a diamond, then stamp the sentiment in Magenta Madness ink. Layer this to the squares of Blushing Bride and Gray Granite and then add to the centre of the card. Making sure you evenly cover the edges of the embossed rectangles. 

Tie a bow with the Gray Granite ribbon and add below the sentiment.

Finally add some rhinestones to the top three points of the sentiment piece.

I hope you have enjoyed my Card today, please pop over and see what three elements Donna & Karen have both chosen for their projects today
