I brayered some Early Espresson onto the embossing folder to add that bit of depth before embossing. What a wonderful sketch this is - one to keep in mind for workshops!
I had an Open House this past weekend, and re-did my Door Prize box with some of the new Mocha Morning Specialty paper. To be honest, I may never redo this box - I love it! I used the Lace Ribbon Border, put it through the crimper which made it bend around the edge of the lid easily.
It won't take long before the school routine gets set in, but I'm happy I'll still have time for stamping and sharing classes with my peeps!
Hope the summer is winding up well for you also - thanks for stopping by for a visit! Joan

Hi Joan,
Sorry about your migraine...that is awful! Today is Friday though! Love your card, masculine is always a good choice! Hope your first week back was awesome. I am heading in today to do more set up! Thanks for joining us at the Paper Players.

Joan, sorry to hear that you were down with a migraine for a couple of days. Glad to see that you are feeling better and that you were able to join the Paper Players this week with this fabulous card. I love the Open Sea, so am always excited to see it used. Love all the texture you managed to incorporate in the layers. Great take on the challenge this week - thanks for joining us.

Beautiful card, Joan! Love the brayering on the folder! Thanks for playing with the Paper Players this week!
Although your card is masculine it is still very pretty..not easy to do, very nice job.
I absolutely LOVE your decorated box, it is stunning.
Thanks for sharing the tip about the ribbon punch also, very clever.
I am glad you are keeping this box. It is stunning!
