Apologies for my absence. We were away last weekend at my nephew's wedding and during the week I just didn't have the time or the inclination to do any crafting, so hence the reason for no posts - nothing to show. I did make a card for the wedding but then forgot to photograph it. I wasn't really happy with it anyway - the design in my head was much better. Ever have that when it just doesn't come out the way you planned? Happens a lot around here.
So this weekend I made time to create a little and this is almost the card I wish I had made for the wedding. I have seen a few cards like this on the internet and have always been jealous of the number of embossing folders some people have. Now I guess it looks like I own 9 myself, but really I only have 6. Luckily I found a few pieces of cardstock that I had embossed using other people's stuff.
I have used Pool Party as the background colour which combined with the white just looks so fresh, elegant and serene. I really will miss the old 2011-2013 In colours when they retired in July. Will have to make sure I stock up on them before they are gone. My favourite colour would have to be Lucky Limeade, then Pool Party and Wisteria Wonder. But then again I also like Calypso Coral and Island Indigo. Too hard to choose. Which will you miss the most?
Your card is beautiful Cheryl. It is such an effective technique/design.
