Happy Labor Day

I hope you are all spending time with family today and still staying safe. I hope the cases don't start to rise again after this holiday.

Todays' card will be entered into CAS Mix Up calling for us to emboss with dies. I used a Gina K. leaf die and dry embossed a leaf on either side of a rust panel. Then using Impression Obession dies called Wheat I die cut two brown and one cream wheat stalk and glued them in the middle of the embossed leaves. This is a great way to stretch your dies a bit more. I added a sentiment from Penny Black in brown ink and embossed with clear powder and an orange and white twine bow. I used dry embossing, embossing with powder, die cuts and stamping on this card.




Be kind to one another.

This is very pretty! I love the embossing and the wheat stalks. Hope you are well. I am having cataract surgery tomorrow. I had the first eye dona two weeks ago. Sure will be glad when it is all over and I'm done with the eye drops. Stay safe! Hugs, Sharyn

This is so pretty, Brenda. I love this concept of dry embossing with dies, and rarely think to do it. Those maple leaves look lovely, and the shafts of wheat stand out beautifully against them. Hope you're having a lovely Labor Day. Mine's quiet, which is good. Stay safe, Bev

Hope you had a good weekend, Brenda. Winds picked up tonight & now we're covered in smoke from wildfires 1-2 hrs away. Hazardous air quality--worst we've ever had. Hopefully winds die down tomorrow. Love your creative, beautiful Fall card!

Wow Brenda, this is just a beautiful card! I love stretching or getting more use out of our supplies, so embossing with dies is such a fabulous idea. They look so nice with the wheat on top. Love this one, as I loved when we grew wheat on the farm. Hugs, Brenda
