Close to your heart


The challenge at CAS Mix up is to use Embossing folders.


Here is a card made from a die from MFT and an embossing folder from Craft Concepts.
The die set has a separate panel for the bra cup and so I looked through my EFs for a pattern which would give the appearance of lace! This one has swirls which exactly match the contour of the die cut when placed strategically in  the folder. I decided to add a little colour to the image by inking the flat side inside the folder with Archival Brilliance Pigment ink, before running through my Big Shot.
I layered the main part of the bra to give a little strength before popping it onto dimensional pads.
The sentiment was 'stamped' onto the card using the computer as I didn't have this wording in my stash and it is kinda specific... and so true!!
This is also for Clean and Simple on Friday... "Make a card to brighten someone's day!"

  8. Wow.. That's one I would love to own ;) I just read that you were the founder of LIM.. I have to tell you.. I love that name for a challenge, Less is More..sounds cooler ! (I wish the cards were called LIM rather than CAS, I was with the Air force and half of the people I know only understand it as Chief of Air staff :P)
