It is time for a new challenge at Scrapy Land! This time the theme is Embossing (heat or dry). I chose dry embossing for this inspiration project. A very dear blog friend of mine had a birthday recently, so I created this card in honor of her birthday and inspiration for this challenge:
I used Spellbinders Shady Allure embossing folder to create the background.
Then I used Spellbinders Victorian Medallion 2 to die cut my sentiment.
I wanted to keep it simple and elegant, so I only added some seam binding crinkled ribbon and vintage medallion to embellish the bow...I created a box that card would be place in, instead of an envelope, that is kinda "my thing" majority of my cards come in a keepsake box, seems that recipients find that even more special...
I hope you stop by the Scrapy Land Challenge Blog for more inspiration from my team mates and decide to join our challenge :)
Have a wonderful day and thanks for stopping by...

As the lucky recipient of this card, I can tell you that the pictures in no way do it justice! It is the most elegant, posh birthday card that I have ever received! Even my hubby liked it and that's high praise! The background embossing pattern is such a perfect way to showcase that intricate die cut in the center and the colours are so rich and decadent! The shabby ribbon and gorgeous gemstone brooch make it all the more ritzy! Thank you so much my friend for putting such a smile on my face when I needed it the most! I will treasure it always. Big hugs :)
