It's Easy to Make an Impression

Hello friends!

Hope you are enjoying the finer weather in your neck of the woods. I am starting to think about outdoor planters. I am not a gardener, however, planting is always getting me excited in Spring.

Take this Traveller's Atlas (Altenew) Embossing Folder as an example. It has super small and detailed impression. I tried a few types of card-stock and find that the metallic card-stock proves to be most effective.

I am sharing a card that can be easily impressed by all. What do I mean here?

It is effortlessly effective to use the right card-stock with dry-embossing folder. This card is a good example for that.I mounted the image and inlaid it inside the Picture Perfect Die.

 To make the frame more appealing, I added World In Bloom Die

I do love the World in Bloom Die as it offers many possibilities (the floral elements, circles, globe... etc.). If you are discerning about make die purchasing, you need to look at each individual pieces and think of the designs that you can do. That's when I make the decision ...to buy or not to buy!

 The sentiment "Smile" is part the Picture Perfect Die.

 Finally, a few splatter seems to do the magic for me. I hope that you find things/people that make you smile. My constant smile-maker is now my grandson. 😁😇

Thanks for stopping by!
