Less Is More #396

Less is More is hosting a CAS embossing challenge which is right up my alley.  If you dry emboss you can only use 1/3 of the card.  Check.
I have these thin embossing folders that I haven't use in years - if at all. I took the zig-zag one and embossed it three time near the bottom of my card, fitting the PTI sentiment between two of them. I white heat embossed the flowers from CF (the sponsor of this challenge), colored them with DI and added Nuvo drops to the centers.  I went searching for leaves that were the right size and line style and found these in the Altenew Smile More set.

It's been busy around here and will get busier but I have to make time for my card making.  It centers me and makes everything else less of a chore.  I hope you make time for yourself too.

Love the partial embossing and how it adds CAS interest to a card! Your flowers look so pretty against it! I know what you mean about cardmaking centering us. I can work faster if I have that to look forward to.

I like the way you've tucked the sentiment among your dry embossing! This is cute Bobby!

Your flowers are quite pretty, and I love the placemnt on the dry embossing! Pretty card! As for "me" time? Not much but I sure try...

This is CAS perfection Bobby! Love your sweet dry embossed background. I have two of those folders that just do a strip and haven't used them for ages. Need to pull them out! :) Your adorable flowers add so much colour with the white-on-white texture from the dry emboss. xx

So dainty and pretty, Bobby ... the embossing puts me in mind of a delicate embroidered table runner! I'm working on that card making time too ... not very successfully at the moment!! Hugs, Anita :)
