SC365, TLC357 Gilded Thanks

Photo Details

Poster: Crafty Julia

For today's Sketch Challenge, I flipped the design vertically to fit my embossed center panel- it's done with Numbers Collage by Cuttlebug, with a mixture of several embossing powders. I also used SU's Sizzix Framed Tulips for the border. The stamped message is from SU's Lots of Thoughts- I have a lot of thank you cards to send (TLC357). I finished with a gold ribbon for extra sparkle.

I like the tulip frame on this card and I've never thought about mixing several different ep! I'll have to try that one! Thanks for the tip.

Julia, this is really a lovely color combination. The copper/gold/shimmer look beautiful against the embossed border!

Very pretty! Aren't you cleaver, roughing it out with torn paper instead of doing all that measuring and trimming? It really worked out.

Nice flip of the layout, nice use of the embossing folders.
