FAUX EMBOSSED CARD

 

Hi and welcome to all my very talented, and craft loving friends.

 

My craft friend gave me a Hunkydory magazine recently as she had been sent 2 of the same magazines now I never buy the Hunkydory ones, but on looking at it I was inspired by a card that used a die for faux embossing.

I had totally forgot you could do this so as I was in a turmoil what to put on my Daughters fiance's card this year I decidded to have a go and this is how it turned out.

 


This is a 8"x8" size card.

I used some dark brown card for my matts and then some Kraft card for the background and the faux embossing.

The Happy Birthday die is a Sue Wilson one.

The gold glitter card used is a snippet and I suppose the faux  embossing is as I used the card stock left over from the matts to do it.

Glitter dots made with a punch.

 

Thank you so much for your visit and precious time.

I really appreciate every visit and wonderful comment you make.

Lots of crafty love.  JENNY.


 I would like to enter this into the follwing challenge.

    There are so many ideas and techniques around that it is difficult to remember them all. This idea has worked well and makes a lovely card.

    This is a fabulous card Jenny, your faux embossing looks great and I too had forgotten his technique. I have made cards with die cut shapes as the background element but I haven't used words or sentiments - I'm off to have a play ;)

    A great birthday card for a guy. The sparkle isn't too much and I like that embossing on the panel.
