This card is for CAS-ual fridays this week and which closes in a few hours time! I'm not usually this late but I got there in the end.
This week we are to use embossing on a card .... dry or heat, so I've used both :)
The stamps are from an Inkadinkado set and the embossed strip is a cuttlebug folder. The sentiment is one of my favourites from Penny Black because it has a lovely 'hand-written' look to it.
We were quite panicked this morning when the laptop problem became apparent as we had not backed up a lot of the photos on it but luckily the guy in the tech shop was able to retrieve them .... phew what a relief :)
Just a word of warning though to make sure you back everything up on these machines, it's easy to think they are so reliable and "I'll do that another day!!!" Sermon over . LoL
Thanks for calling by, I have another card to share with you tomorrow X
Welcome back! Sorry about the laptop trouble - that is always such a sinking feeling when you see there is something wrong. I am very good at backing up, but ... I think I will go do it again right now. :-)
ReplyDeletePretty card for the challenge. I love how you used that little embossing strip. What a fun idea!

This is lovely Jenny - I really like that sentiment and the strong red flowers on the white are fab.
ReplyDeleteI had the same horror when my old laptop died - thought I'd lots photos, all my music files and essays. I did manage to get them back, just, but did go out and buy an external hard drive along with the new laptop! Now I have loads of digi's I'm even more cautious as it would cost a fortune to replace them all! I'm investigating the cloud now as a back up back up....

ReplyDeleteBeautiful card - so well designed. I wish I felt comfortable when I'm doing a card with lots of white space. I always try to fill it up with something. But your card is wonderful. Hope your laptop gets fixed quickly.

Black, white and red is one of my all time favourite combinations! Beautiful! You're right, that sentiment stamp looks lovely and gives an extra 'personal' touch - who's to know you haven't written it by hand?!! :)
ReplyDeleteLove the card, the sentiment stamp is fab. Glad you managed to get the things on your computer back, I can imagine it was a bit of a panic when you thought it had gone. Becky x
ReplyDeleteFab way to use both types of embossing! Love the subtleness of the floral strip with that pop of colour! Glad you were able to make the challenge deadline, hope your laptop is better soon, it never rain but it pours.
