Thanks a Bunch




Happy Friday Peeps!!!

Today's card is made using the challenge this week at

Create a Slimline card, they are trendy right now.
I have made one before, years ago but not lately, so I thought I would give it a go.

Man, it is big.....I forgot just how big they are.

I had fun with it!

I stamped images from the Celebrate Sunflower set with Black Stazon ink onto thick Whisper White card stock.

I masked off for stamping the leaves and the smaller flowers.

I colored with my Water Painter and ink pads.



I used Daffodil Delight, Crushed Curry and Bumblebee inks for the Sunflowers and Pear Pizzazz and Old Olive for the leaves.
The Centers are a combo of Crumb Cake and Early Espresso inks.
I did a wash of Coastal Cabana in the Background.

The Sentiment is stamped with Early Espresso ink.

I then embossed the panel using the Tasteful Textures EF.




Listed below are the "ingredients" used to make this project.

Hi Vicki, I'm crazy about slimline layouts and especially if I can use only SU products! My question is: how do you emboss on a longer piece with the 6" limitations in width? I assume you'd have to pick a folder that isn't directional and emboss the left side then the right? Tim Holtz bravely cuts his folders, but not me yet! Thanks, Donna
