No Layers Swap.....

Happy Hump Day Everyone!

My post for today is about another personal challenge.....to make a card without any layers! My new embossing folder from SU! made this process extremely easy since the embossed flowers are very pretty & elegant. I sat with a smile on my face for a minute until I realized that we had to add 1 embellishment to these! The only thing I could think of was to add brads inside those gorgeous flowers so that's what I went with. Any thoughts?????

Well, I have a rather busy day ahead of me....Bianca has to go get a few teeth extracted to make room for her permanent ones so I better get moving!! Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great rest of the day!
TTFN,
Hugs,

Supplies:
Elegant Bouquet Embossing Folder; Kind & Caring Thoughts ss; Whisper White cs; Rich Razzleberry ink; Big Shot; Vintage Brads

    Hey, if your Big Shot stuff will feel neglected while you are at convention I can always "babysit" them for you. Hahahahaha!

  17. When I saw this texture plate in the catty, I thought it looked interesting, but wasn't sure why it only had the design in one corner. But now I see the possibilites. This is GORGEOUS! Especially done in all white with just the brads as embellishments. Great job on your personal challenge.
