I have one more OSW card for you today and it's a Fall card. Right now, it's that crazy time of the crafting year when you switch back and forth between seasons and holidays and it's all just plain fun.
I got to thinking that, especially with Christmas card-making time fast approaching, let's get even
more bang for our buck and cut a 12 X 12" sheet of DSP into 1" strips. Now, you can use them for
24 cards! That's a big deal when you're making a bunch for Christmas. You'll also have 12 (1") squares left over. These can come in handy for cute little accents on other cards or for scrapbook pages.
This card has a top layer that is embossed and then gently sponged in random places to highlight the 'brick' wall look from the embossing. I attached this layer with dimensionals.
The leaves are heat embossed with
Gold EP and then cut with our framelits. I added a sprig of linen thread to tie it all together. This card is a good example of how a 1" strip can work nicely to highlight a card design. You wouldn't want a larger strip because it would fight with the leaves and it would cover up too much of the embossed layer beneath it. I really like how this one turned out.
