Missing You And Banner Tails.......


I have been quite taken by banners and have purchased a few dies since I love and am addicted to dies.  I also am a huge fan of embossing folders but I have more dies than folders.  This is one of my favorites, called Textile Textures by Cuttlebug.  I use it often and think it gives an elegant background.  Did you notice the pretty little metal butterfly?  My good friend Kathy Clement (Big Wave) sent me an envelope filled with sequins and little shapes and pretties.  This just sort of fell out of the bunch when I was transferring them over into a little bin and I felt like I should use it quickly.  I added the pretty little beads down the center and I think it made an excellent addition to my card.  Thanks Kathy!

Be sure and check back tomorrow as the Heartfelt Creations Alumni Design Team brings you a blog hop filled with so much inspiration.  See you then!

Great card Glenda! I too love banners and love using them, your card is a nice idea for banners and will have to give it a try. Yep, I have that folder too and love it... sometimes I forget about them and start using them again.. The way you used it here is very nice.

The embossed background makes for a very elegant looking card. I really like your design with the banners and the metal butterfly is a pretty added touch!

Just wanted to also say thanks for the nice comment you left on my blog. It is very much appreciated!

This embossing folder is a classic beauty. The smallish repeating design makes it very useful, and it is certainly elegant. I, too, have used it many times. I'm just loving the fish tails and banners, too. Thinking I need more dies... That little butterfly was saying "use me", so you were good to accommodate, Glenda. Very pretty!

Absolutely brilliant, your embossing is so deep and crisp.
I love all the banners and how you have used them.
Great colours and design.
