Basic Grey meets Penny Black




This week over on Basic Grey the challenge is to include embossing, while the challenge on Penny Black is to make anything, but to include lace and pearls. I have made a card using the T for Transparent stamps from Penny Black, embossed the tree and coloured with polychromos pencils and sansador. I have used a piece of black lacy trim and have used pearl brads for the flower centres. The flowers have been die cut with the cuttlebug and then run through an embossing folder, although the photo doesn't really show this too well, sorry!!! The papers are from the Basic Grey Sultry collection and have used versa colour fresh green and colourbox chalk cream brown inkpads to edge. I have decorated the inside with scraps too, and for a change made the card gatefold. Thanks for looking, and I would welcome your comments.

  6. A gorgeous card and I love that you made it a gatefold too, I can't seem to stop making these at the moment either :) The tree looks wonderful as the focal panel and your embossed flowers finish everything off so beautifully! Glad you could join us at BG challenges this time. Chris and the BG Design Team. :)
