Laurie Gatton was the hostess this week for The Stampin' Sisters in Christ and gave the challenge to make a card that expresses your thankfulness for someone or something they have done or that encourages someone to be thankful. http://stampinsistersinchrist.blogspot.com/
I wanted to try this technique I saw on Gina K's stamp tv, Nestabilities-Embossing Only. http://stamptv.ning.com/video/nestab...bossing-only-1 I made a very simple card and added a ribbon and bow.

Yikes, Benzi, I watched that video to! For such a long time I've been wondering how stampers emboss like this. Finally, the tutorial showed me how it's done. You've done a great job with yours, too. Your image is so perfect for that area. Sweet card, girl!

What a sweet image - great job on the technique...it makes for a great one layer card. Love how you've dressed up the inside with the lacy edge...

Brenda~ this is so soft and cuddly! Your image and sentiment are incredibly sweet, and I love the inside border punch too. Great card! TSMFS Hugs
