Another cup of coffee...

This is another card made using the HOTP book 'Shaped Cards'. I made it yesterday, at the same time as my other card, but I wasn't totally happy with it.

Today, I've added a black peel off to the top of the cuttlebug embossing and roses to the corners which has improved the look of it, but I still don't like it as much as the pretty gentle pink card.

One thing I am really pleased about it the way I managed to get a really wide piece of cuttlebug embossing to give the impression of a table cover at the bottom of the card. No way would the piece fit in my machine, but using a rolling pin on the folder worked great. I would definitely recommend that for anyone wanting a wider than normal piece of embossing.

It's lovely Ann, but I agree the pretty pink one is better. Reminds me of when we used to have a cup of tea in a china cup at my Nan's when I was little. Was always terrified I'd break the hand;le off LOL. Nice to see you're using the book.

Luv'n'Stuff

I really like this one Ann - it's just very different from the pink one and you need to get used to it :)

I think this one is just as pretty as the pink one Ann, just more dramatic in colour. The tip with the rolling pin sounds like a great idea, I must try it (as soon as I buy a rolling pin!)

Thank you so much to great friends who have become followers of my blog. Love having you around.
