Three Cheers with Gemma

Today I have a card to share featuring a new embossing glitter trio called Riviera. These fun mixes have coloured embossing powder and glitter along with larger granules of white and black. They give such a unique finish and the embossed patterns are different every time.

As the theme of the Facebook challenge this month is DIY embellishments, I decided to use the Riviera trio to create some fun embellishments for my card.

I die cut the Lawn Fawn Cheers word die several times from white card. I layered three of the words together to create a stacked die cut, then embossed with the Provencal embossing glitter. I repeated this step with the other two powders in the trio, to create three cheers.

For my background, I used the Love Stripes embossing folder from Fun Stampers Journey to add texture to a piece of white card. I added two thin strips of Cool Pool FSJ card to the top and bottom of my card base, then adhered the embossed panel over the top.

I used liquid glue to add the embossed die cut words to my card, then worked on an accompanying sentiment. I die cut a banner from the Hello Bluebird Stitched Tag Builder die set, then stamped a greeting from the Hello Bluebird Party Parade stamp set. I added the banner to my card with foam squared to finish.
