Here’s a card using the bookcase builder set to make shelving, but just a little shelf. It’s also showcasing the new emerald envy 1/8 inch taffeta ribbon which is so easy going.
I wanted to leave enough space for one of the great sentiments in the set and that meant having less as the focal point. A little shelf with a space on the left for a bow was the perfect answer. The shelf is archival basic black and the books and teddy bear are in emerald envy, dapper denim and delightful dijon. Once I’d stamped those and trimmed down the whisper white, I cut a piece of basic black as the mat. Next was the sentiment which I actually embossed in white but rather than using versamark, I used the craft white ink. Not only does heat embossing dry the rather juicy ink, I get much better coverage with the embossing powder because it’s so juicy. I popped the panel up with dimensionals and then added the emerald envy ribbon bow with a glue dot.
I hope you enjoyed today’s project, having such a large border of emerald envy reminds me again what a great colour it is! I’m already into the “oh my, in colours are retiring in 3.5 months” which has me looking more at all the in colors. So you’re likely to see more of the in colors coming up, especially the ones actually retiring this year – I’m really going to miss mint macaron and delightful dijon. How about you? Which ones are you going to miss?
