Hello and welcome back! I have a "Best Wishes" circular card to share today. It features Sue Wilson's fabulous City skyline dies.
This is for someone moving away to a another city.
The card came together quickly after die-cutting.
Techniques: Dry Embossing, Wet Embossing, Layering
America's Helpful TIPS and TRICKS
I have loads & loads of patterned papers, but I also have loads of vintage wallpaper rolls that I have collected over the years. I love the textures and variety you can get from these and tend to find the most fabulous patterns in rolls at goodwills & thrift shops. They are so perfect for papercrafting - just simply use a strong spray adhesive (from home depot) and spray behind wallpaper pieces then adhere to any plain cardstock for added weight. You will have rolls and rolls of fabulous unusual patterned paper designs that you won't feel bad about cutting through or using. (like we do with our pricey lovely papers that we otherwise tend to not use.) LOL. - just sayin'...
A gold ribbon was added as a finishing touch.
The card-base edges are inked with versamark then heat embossed w/gold glitter embossing powder.
The moon above the city skyline was dry embossed for texture.
