My Red Thinking of You Card

Hi everyone, hope you've been well since the last time we've been together.  I've been okay. 

I wanted to share another one of my contest cards that didn't make it this time.  I really liked it, but I really like all of my cards!  I'm suppose to, aren't I?!  Hee-hee! 
 
I made this card on a black cardstock base, then found some black and white designer paper for the next layer. I embossed the red layer with my dotted swiss CuttleBug folder to give it some texture. The white part is a Spellbinders Shapeabilities Pendants die that I also embossed.




Here is a close up of the red and the embossing on it.
This is a close up of the Thinking of You tag that I attached to the front. On each scallop, I "dolloped" a bit of black glaze from a pen that I had on hand. I inked around the white cardstock to tone it down a bit so it didn't stand out so much on top of that red.  Tied it all up with the black sheer ribbon, black brads in the corners, and white paper inside to write a sentiment on.

Thanks for looking and spending a few of your precious minutes with me today.  Hope I might have inspired you or given you a new twist on an idea for a card.  I'm not into coloring much, so I do more of the layering....


 Hope everyone has a great week and hope to visit with you again this week.

Hugs....
