Hi there.... it's Sunday evening here in New Zealand and tomorrow I'm back into the office after 2 and a half weeks Christmas break. I've had a very relaxing time - 8 days at our friends in Managawhai and a week back at home. Haven't done a lot of crafting - nothing up north and only a couple of cards this week. We have spend time at the beach, given the house a good clean, did a day trip to Waiheke Island ( a 40 min ferry ride from Auckland) and generally relaxed.
However I did a card using a scrap of embossing sitting on my desk.
This was a piece of paper that I had embossed with an Altenew 3D folder. I used some Wilted Violet Distress oxide to colour it up. I matted the panel onto some violet, and then on to a white card base. Added the sentiment from Altenew's Paint a Flower, Spider Mum set. I also had some ribbon sitting on my desk so added this as well. It's been a long time since I've added ribbon to my cards... seems to have lost favour in the last few years.
Thanks for stopping by. Take care out there.

Love this card and the sentiment Dawn.
Thanks for the reminder, Dawn - it's been hard to be happy lately but I'll give it a go :) Gorgeous card with the inked embossing!!
that embossing folder is my current fave and love how you used it with the pale lavender - and yes - ribbon!! maybe it will have a revival one of these days!!
Wonderful card Dawn - ands that ribbon really adds a gorgeous touch to the card. Glad to hear you had a relaxing holiday
Stay safe

I used to use that basic design alot & I still love it with the ribbon! Only problem is the mailing cost with bumpy cards. Beautiful card!
