This card is the last of five challenges I did for my SU demo (peama - Donna) in January...and probably the toughest! One layer cards just about do me in!
Her challenge: Create a one layer card using the Thanks for Caring stamp set. This card will be pretty inside & out (words and images in and out).
Used the Elegant Lines Embossing Folder to add texture to the cardstock. Sponged with SU Pastels to give a bit of colour to the embossed sections. Stamped the sentiment and butterfly - inked with markers. Added some seam binding ribbon and a flower. For the inside, I punched out a piece of scrap cardstock with the Decorative Label punch and sponged around it to create a 'frame' around the sentiment.
The front got a shot of Shimmer Paint mixed with rubbing alcohol to give it some sparkle.
PT: Just one - used it as a template to sponge a frame for my inside sentiment.
Thanks for stopping by!

It's hard to get up a good punch count when you're doing a one layer card! I like how you highlighted the embossed portions of the card. I have this embossing folder, and haven't even used it yet. SHame on me.
