Thank You

Hello everyone! It’s sooo windy here today, it was rather hard taking pictures of the card that I have to show you today.

I was browsing through challenge sites and saw the challenge at DYSU, which was “Thank you”. I remembered a card I made when I first received my embossing folders by the picture they have put up to depict their challenge. I thought I should revamp it. You can find the older card HERE, I was pretty untidy back then craft wise :)

My first time at:

DSC03775

It’s a fairly clean and simple card. I took a portion of the Thank You embossed panel for this card. Coloured over the embossed words with silver marker and also outlined the pink panel with the same.

The top white layer is embossed using sizzix texture plate “distressed”. Added a wee bit of lace to make it look more pretty and feminine. Few pearls were added to balance the whole look.

I like this card! So simple right?

Just wanted to remind you to play along my challenge at Yvonne’s blog HERE, there is a ribbon prize for the winner. You will also find my ribbon flower tutorial there. I will also be giving away today’s card along with the ribbon prize :)

It's stunning! But then so is the first one. You've always been AWEsome, Girlfriend! Love the way you tied that bow & the lace. I need to go shopping for lace bits. And the white on the pink. Genius gorgeousness.

Okay. I've tried to use a marker over the top of dry embossing like this. How come *yours* looks so fantastic?! What kind of silver marker did you use? Sharpie always seems to leave an oily shadow, and my metallic pens leave pen marks.... Inquiring minds want to know! :)
