I was all over that one - I have a large drawer of embossing folders and new ones just keep finding their way into my house! As I was paging through them, I realized I wanted to do more than just an embossing folder (because I do that all the time) - either lots of folders on one card, or a different technique - then I froze a little because I'm not one to come up with my own ideas. So I spent some time organizing my desk and saw a scrap of paper that had diagonal stripes with a few going a different way - the light bulb came on! Did I get enough shadow on the card so you can see the strip that changes direction!!?? (I have the worst time photographing embossing on a card - if I get the shadow off of it so it's a nice white card, the embossing "disappears".)

ReplyDeleteYum-my, love the change of direction embossing that draws the eye to the hello dressed in the most luscious colours ... the sequins are gorgeous! Anita :)
ReplyDeleteYay Kim, so glad you tried something outside the box for you. It is brilliant and shows up perfectly in the photo. Love the multicoloured hello. Need to try that.

ReplyDeleteFUN FUN FUN!!! I love the way you embossed this Kim and the bright pink sequins are so sweet. I just bought my first two embossing folders LOL...little late to the game I think ;)
ReplyDeleteThe diagonal embossing is such an original and unique idea, and it shows up very well in your photo! I also love the varied colors on that bold sentiment too! NJ on this one!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful embossing! I love the diagonals going in different directions. Totally awesome card!
ReplyDeleteEmbossing and white are so hard to photograph for sure but you did it beautifully! And the card is fabulous - you have a great eye for design!
ReplyDeleteFABulous card Kim...love your embossing folder too, I seem to have that same problem and need to find a solution for it, but then again, maybe not. Kim, your cards are always so stunning and I love visiting your blog for inspiration.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness how wonderful to come up with this idea .. kinda …Serendipity I love the way you have the lines going the opposite way sure makes the card! Love it!
ReplyDeleteOh yes Kim, it works so well as the sentiment is slightly slanted that way too, Great thinking! Love the bold colours against all that white too. Xx
ReplyDeleteClever, clever use of that folder, Kim! The change in direction of stripes is so striking and really keeps your eye lingering around the gorgeous sentiment. Brilliant!
ReplyDeleteAnother amazing design from you, Kims! Your photograph turned out well; no trouble seeing the embossed lines going in (genius)different directions. Thank you for the link to the challenge! I don't remember seeing that one before.
