A dimensional card for my Mom, who is blind, so she will be able to feel texture and enjoy. It's a simple little card that I used Core'dinations cardstock along with an embossing folder and then sanded it. It feels almost velvety. The sentiment (partial) was inked with a marker.
Thanks for looking.

How wonderful! Love the look of the sanded embossing folder with the pretty Primas - such a great idea to make a card with texture so your Mom can appreciate your card-making skills!

This is nearly too wonderful for words, that you could make a card for your mom this way. When I first saw it I thought it had been cross stitched! Your dimension shows in the photo even. Your mom is blessed, and so are you! TSMFS

This is really beautiful to look at and I'm sure it is as beautiful to touch! What a wonderful card you have made for your mother! This is a great example of what can be done with this very cool paper! TFS!!!!
PS- Everytime I see your avatar, I think of my mom because daffodils were her favorite flower and she grew about 10 different varieties! Such a cheerful flower!

How thoughtful. I've wondered what I'd do for a sight-affected person too. Textures is the answer, I thought, and here you've done it. Yet it's visually stimulting too. How clever.
