PENNY BLACK Challenge 30 Embossing

Can you see the join?.... I have to confess that this card for Penny Black Saturday Challenge is made from scraps!! I thought it was about time i started to use all the bits and pieces that i scurry away in a box to use later.........I think we all do it....save a bit here & there to use later and the pile just gets bigger and bigger!!

I've kept the whole thing very simple and have used just one colour for the image 'Andante' stamped onto watercolour paper with Adirondack 'Lettuce'

The requirement this week is Embossing, so i've used my Cuttlebug and the Birthday folder. The 'pointed' patterned pieces are Basic Grey Urban Prairie, which were left over bits from my House Mouse card the other day! The green and pink papers are also BG from the same pad.
The piece of embossed green paper to the right of the image was cut from the larger portion and turned on it's side! The card base is 5 x 7. Ribbon, button and gem from stash.

Thanks for popping in today.....see you soon ;-D

Hugs

p.s. Do you like my lovely wooden stand? !!!!!!!!!

    Just having your image off to the side and stamped in one color makes it look so elegant! The whole card is lovely!
