Hi! Today's sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches was designed by Jacquie Southas and I have to admit I played "Stretch the Sketch" a tad to come up with my card.
I had had this embossing folder for quite some time (at least a year I think) and had never used it. Then I saw there were co-ordinating stencils, so bought them and when they arrived, I wanted to use them both straight away (go figure!) I thought that the curves and the leaves at the bottom of the image sort of looked a bit like the sketch so decided to go for it. I stenciled and embossed the image and then die-cut with the co-ordinating die. I then partially die-cut the bottom of the die from some white cardstock and dry-embossed that with the Burlap EF before adhering behind the florals. This makes the image stand out a bit more.
The card base was a panel of Eiffel Tower which was also embossed with the same Burlap folder. I adhered the image with foam tape and added a pre-foiled sentiment.
