Yellow Tulips

Happy Tuesday everybody. I hope you are all keeping well and doing everything you can to stay that way, and managing to get all you need from the shops. I just home craft shops don't start to have bare shelves as people who have to stay at home look for ways to keep themselves entertained!

While having a sort-out of dies and embossing folders at the weekend I spotted this magazine freebie folder which I've had for several years and don't think I've ever used.


And with tulips being so seasonal at the moment I thought this was the perfect time to have a play. I dug out an ancient pad of Coredinations Black Magic card and chose a spring yellow backed card then embossed and sanded it. The large black square still looked a little heavy so I carefully removed the wavy band from the centre, then positioned the upper and lower panels on the card and filled the gap with gems. 

I stamped a sentiment on toning yellow card and cut and embossed it with a Spellbinders die.  

I am sharing this with

    You're taking me back with that sanding technique, Jane. It worked beautifully with the lovely embossing folder. Thanks for sharing your card with us at Just Us Girls.

    I love coredination card stock Jane and the emboss/sand technique is so effective! Love your split panel too emphasised with the gems. Vicky x
