Embossed Thanks

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!


I was recently the lucky winner of the random draw at

The Thank You embossing folder is one of the three that I received as the prize.

With the Tulip Magnolias blooming around here, I was inspired to bring out
my Alexandra Renke Two Magnolia dies that a sweet friend gifted me a couple of years ago.
I used them to make these cards and this one too.

This time I watercolored the die cuts and added to a double embossed and 
scored card front.

I think this embossing folder will get a lot of use. 

Thank you ladies for the prize and a special thanks for the challenge.


Challenges:
Can You Handle the Pressure - ATG with dry embossing (didn't use the twist this time)

Stamps:  
Ink:   
Paper:   Neenah Solar White, Mixed Media (Strathmore)
Other:  Two Magnolias Die (AR), Dainty Diamonds EF (SU), Border EF Sentiments (Park Lane), Score Board, Zig CCRBMs


Enjoy!

This large embossed sentiment looks great with the diamond EF background and the two scored lines between, and the AR die cut magnolia branch is so prettily coloured Bonnie...a super card! x

Congratulations on your win, Bonnie! You put that folder to beautiful use. It's quite effective here with your gorgeous magnolias. They're in bloom here, too, and looking so pretty. We are currently having some wind and rain, so not sure how they'll look after.

That embossing is beautiful, lucky you, it is always lovely to win a prize. Your magnolia is fabulous too. The ones near me are going over now after a few very cold days they have been damaged by the frost. It is so sad to see as they look magnificent in the sunshine xx
