But while I was in my craft room I came across a new embossing folder that I got a while ago (last year) and it was still in its packaging. So I decided it was time to play with it. I found some plain white card from my stash and cut it down to make an A6 card. I then placed this in my embossing folder and ran it through my "bug"!! I'm very lucky to have both the Grand Calibur and a Cuttlebug - but I always tend to use my "bug" for small bits of cutting or embossing.
The embossing is really deep on this card - I should, perhaps, have used a slightly thicker card. However, I like the effect and decided to add some shimmer to the whole card. So out came my Cosmic Shimmer mist - pearl white!! It's lovely!! I then decided to make a sentiment to go with the image - out came my Spellbinder dies and Waltzingmouse stamps. I stamped a very subtle background to the sentiment, added the greeting and a white embossed border. The final touch - a charm to go with the theme. So here's the card - and I'm delighted with it!!
I opted for a musical theme - for a "note" card!! Sorry, couldn't resist :)) And I'm really pleased with the photo on this card - you can see the shimmer and the depth of embossing.
Stamps: Waltzingmouse - Musical Backgrounds, Say it with Style, Very Vintage Labels No 10

And that's all for now - I've been naughty today - no housework, but lots of reading!!! Busy getting through another Stephen King novel - Bag of Bones! It's good. I hope to get into my craft room again later this evening! Take care for now.

Super - & ever so good for those masculine cards that we all need. the white is very stylish here but there's a good hint of the trendy teenager too - very useful.

Super folder matching your sentiment. Yes you are definitely a Limette!! x
another fab card - that's a great folder. the calibre is my next big thing on my wish list - how do you find it?
So many lovely WoW cards, took me ages to decide which is my personal favourite and I'm still dithering! I think I might have to pick this one, just stunning! So glad other people find 'new' things in their stash - I'm always doing that! Sarah
Lovey card very stunning.

oooooaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh, love this, a great card, love the guitar as a charm,
Woohoo!!!!! Deb this is a masterpiece. Fabulous! Yes you are definitely a LIMette :)
And I love to look at your stunning creations.
Sounds you had a great day. I wish I could let go of the housework and laundry...but I can't make cards when my house is a mess. So I always clean up first and after that I create another mess myself :)

This is fabulous, as are the previous ones using the waltzing mouse stamps. I have only recently discovered these stamps. Aren't they gorgeous?
