Grateful


 A thoughtful friend of mine shared some of this beautiful designer paper with me, so I cut a strip of it to place next to the Stampendous sentiment which was heat-embossed with gold ep. I thought it needed something else, so I cut a strip of dark green and embossed it with a Darice embossing folder that showed a cat tail stem. I used a Versamark pen to color the image and then heat-embossed that with the matching gold ep and called this one done.
If you click to enlarge the photo, you can see the detail a little better.

Sharing this with the following challenges:

Allsorts week #752 - dry or heat embossing or opt* A/G

Can You Handle the Pressure? - A/G Embossing with a twist of vines/ greenery

Thanks for stopping by today. I have a fun task at hand - my paper shredder jammed and I'll be having fun trying to pull all those little bits out of the claws for a while. It will keep me busy I'm sure :)
Have a great day!
Carol

I love that paper and the sentiment is oh, so true. Make sure the shredder is unplugged. I've done that before and it is exacting work for sure.

I enlarged the image and can say that your card is really lovely and elegant too!! Absolutely agree with the sentiment you used and it looks so well embossed in gold! The matching cat tail on the edge is wonderful and that stripe of paper is so beautiful and delicate.
Hope you have finally freed the shredder from the bits after the fun :D
Hugs dear friend, have a lovely new week!
