Hello! I have a simple card for today’s blog I made for the samples for Hobbymaker.tv for Kingston Crafts.
Because the patterns on the card bases are so pretty it seems a shame to do too much to them and add layers like I normally would – so I decided to make this simple one by just embossing the background and adding a sentiment!
The pattern I chose is like a brocade design in a very pale pink so I thought embossing the large floral down one edge in gold would work nicely.
I then gave it a splatter with the shimmer ink in champagne too which added some delicate texture.
Next I heat embossed the sentiment and a panel for a mat layer.
I then decided to add the silver thread too which added another metallic texture but really I could have kept it more flat and just left that out!
Love that brocade background and then gold floral and that the sentiment then pops off the card with more shine.
Seriously these card bases are so easy to use and create something simple but fun!
Happy crafting!

That’s so elegant! Love the gold embossing
