Hi Crafty Friends! Today begins a new challenge month at The Paper Funday Challenge Blog. Our themes are Always Anything Goes with an Optional Twist. The Twist for May 2023 is Emboss It! - either heat or dry.
For my design team project, I've used another decorative napkin from my stash. I am so proud of myself for shopping my own stash, it's amazing I have all these wonderful things to use.
This card played double duty , one was for the challenge and the other was, unfortunately, to send. A friend of mine lost her granddaughter to Huntington's Disease 2 weeks ago. The young lady was only 18 years old and was diagnosed with Juvenile Huntington's at the age of 8. You can read about Huntington's Disease HERE.
After adhering the 1st layer of napkin to the card panel, I've embossed with a basket weave embossing folder and die cut the bird using a nesting oval die. I also die cut the sentiment using a stitched oval die and added a gold thread bow and nest behind the sentiment. Lastly, I've added clear gems for added interest.
The embossing and other card details may be easier to see in this photo. I am planning more napkin cards soon, they make quick and easy cards, and I have more gorgeous designs.
Please stop by The Paper Funday Challenge and check out what my teamies have created using the Twist of Emboss It!
Until next time, Happy Crafting!
