Hi everyone! More earthtones for todays post so I hope you don't mind. I was really drawn to the new vintage ribbon colours, but this time I used a creamy yellow as a background with them. This card was designed with the sole purpose of showing off the new edgeability dies. I have layered up my border using them with the rust card cut with the triple scallop edge. The dark brown border was cut using the large scallop die with the half circle insert. I cut both sides of the border for symmetry. You may need to click on the picture to see the detail on the very centre of the border, but I embossed the very centre piece so that it was raised up into the decorative holes in the middle. These dies allow you to create borders with customized special details which is one of the reasons that makes them such special tools to crafters. You can punch a border, but I don't think that I could emboss another colour into a punched border like I was able to do here quickly and easily too. I wrapped the ribbon vertically around the card, but under the border before adding a bow and finishing it with a cream organza rose and a couple of crystal decorative stick pins. A bit of piercing and matting and layering to bring the colours from the card into the edge finishes off this simple card. Quite easily reproducible for a quick card for a special friend. All for now, Sue x

The embossing adds a real bit of interest and luxury. Lovely.
Such a gorgeous card here again. It looks really great. I love the rose, you´ve put in the middle of the bow here, it looks so elegant.

Another gorgeous card Sue. I don't know how you do it.I love the new colours of the ribbon and can't wait to get some.
Hi Sue,
Loving the autumnal colours. I think you should definitely do a Spellbinders techniques DVD.
Take care and Love and Light.

Wow, what a great card. I love the colors and embellishments.
The ribbon looks very effective with the cream rose and I agree about doing a spellbinders dvd, would be great to learn all the techniques.
WOW love this card, might use it as inspiration but in crimbo colors.
Lovely colours Sue - really unusual.

The embossing into the center is absolutely fabulous. I can't say I would have thought of it myself.
This is a great card I tried something similar with red cream and black ...loving the edgies !!
The edgeability dies are certainly very versatile when you use them. Another lovely card.
