Country View Crafts Challenges 'Be Sentimental'

Happy February

The challenge this month has been chosen by Jane.  Here is my first project:

To create this card I used:

Tim Holtz Bold Sayings (CMS433) Rubber stamp set

Lisa Horton Crafts Geometric Foiling Plate

Emerald Creek Embossing Powder

The photos sadly don't do the card justice.  The embossing folder was so sparkly and pretty on top of the foiling.  A very simple card where the sentiment stands out.

Pop over to the Challenge blog to see the inspirations from the rest of the team.  And I hope you are encouraged to join in with the challenge.  I love to see your take on the theme.

Happy crafting!
