Wednesday Words

I was on a bit of a roll yesterday and carried on crafting until it was too late to catch the light for a photograph of the card I made. So I'm sharing it today instead. It's for the CASology cue card DISTRESS and Less is More's theme of TEXTURE.

http://www.casology.blogspot.co.uk/2016/02/week-186-distress.html       We'd love you to display our banner

Here's my card:


I used embossing paste and a tiny part of a Rebekah Meier stencil to get my texture. I'm not usually a great fan of embossing paste, but used in a small corner like this has got me thinking I may be converted to its appeal.


I decided to interpret the distress as a sympathy type of card and added a Uniko sentiment to express this.  And the butterfly? Well I just love butterflies and they always seem appropriate whatever the occasion.

Supplies:
Stamps: Uniko, English Country Garden - butterflies, sentiment from Flower Power #1
Inks: Memento, tuxedo black
Stencil TCW, Mini Grow Page
Embossing: Dreamweaver paste, white

So pleased you dropped by today, thanks for your time. 

And keep crafting!

    The embossing paste is absolutely lovely - you MUST be a convert now! The card is so delicate and tasteful. I think sympathy cards are hard to get right, but you've done it. Great work!

    Beautiful, especially love you have kept the embossing paste to the corner and the butterfly highlights it beautifully.
