| Card box closed: inside are 5 matching cards and envelopes |
I chose to create a Card Box filled with 5 matching cards and envelopes, all using a bit of dry embossing on them. I focused on 2 of the new embossing folders: the Dots and the Quatrefoil folders. We have 3 other designs to choose from though! I also used the Ariana papers, matching Complements Dimensional Elements, Ariana Assortment, some Bitty Sparkles and our Trinkets Wooden Shapes. I sponged the edges of a few things using the Cashmere Pad and a Round Sponge and I lightly sanded the dry embossed cardstock pieces with a fine grit sandpaper from our Sanding Kit to give it a bit of a shabby chic look, which I thought went perfectly with the look of the Ariana papers. At the end of this post, you can find photos and links to these products on my website.
