Quick Card in a quarter...

The challenge at http://tandastamps.blogspot.com/ this week was to make a card in 15 minutes. Not for someone that can easily spend far longer than that just choosing the papers this was a toughie!!

As I have had an embosing on vellum phase this week I decided to go with that and use my Cuttlebug 'Bird Call' embossing folder. The sentiment is stamped on white card attached below the vellum with gold brads. I love the way the vellum softens the writing and I think for a sympathy card it's a very appropriate effect.

Materials used:
  • white card
  • gold card
  • Cuttlebug Bird Call embossing folder
  • gold border, sentiment and flourish peel offs
  • gold brads
