Blogger Challenge: Week 90

This week's blogger challenge was to use embossing folders or texure plates on your project. I love using my Cuttlebug and embossing folders to add details to a project!

Here's a masculine birthday card featuring an embossed panel. I used a fun sentiment from the Make a Wish set from Clear & Simple Stamps as the focal image.

The card is a standard sized card with about 1 1/4" of the top right side cut off. This reveals a little of the inside of the card. I covered the inside of the card with some Basic Grey designer paper featuring a number pattern, echoing the random numbers on the sentiment panel.

I repeated the circle pattern in the designer paper in the embossed circle panel on the shortened card front. Here, I lightly brushed some cream ink over the embossed Always Artichoke panel. It really highlights the raised areas.
