Happy Tuesday Folks! How about an Art Deco'ish Card?
May is one of those busy Birthday Months for us, how about you? I'll need a Birthday Card for my SIL who happens to stay "Forever Young" so this Bday sentiment was fitting for her. Her fave color is Purple and she's a huge fan of ART Deco style and Home Decor, so this card was created with her in mind. What do you think?
Can you see the fab crisp, deep embossing that the CE/SW EF leave? The one used here is called "Beaded FanFare" and its dry embossed onto Black CS. So lovin' the polk-a-dots on this! For my card, I took the middle of the Caribbean St Kitts die and diecut it several times to lay and layer as my Background and for the center panel. Can you see the ornamental Corners peeking out from the sides of the sentiment.
