The 3 "R"s

So ... my third card using the new Occasions set called "And Many Mower"! I don't usually use words as the main focus on a card, but this just seems to work well. It'll be a perfect card for my Dad although my mother would *never* let him buy a recliner. She abhors recliners ... too unrefined for her taste, I think.

I used both the sketch from Jen del Muro and the colour combination from the Color Throwdown blog!

<-- check out the picky cutting I did ... I first stamped the word on DSP and then clear embossed the whole piece three times to give it a bit of structure and then cut out all the letters. The embossing makes it so much easier to cut it out otherwise the DSP can be a little flimsy when cutting small images.

Hope you like it!! Thanks for stopping by!

Great card for you Dad, Renee! Amazing job cutting out those words! I know what you mean about embossing for ease of cutting. I just did that with a butterfly and couldn't believe I cut the antennae without destroying them!
