So, on to today's project... it's the Eiffel tower, an iconic symbol of Paris, embossed on a patterned paper panel.
To add visual interest, I used a corner rounder on two opposing corners. Then I embossed the sentiment, "merci", on a flag cut with a Sizzix die. A simple black button embellishes it. Edges are colored with the ColorBox chalk ink in Charcoal.
TIP: Can't find a thread or ribbon that matches your project exactly? Thread the button with a thin strip of cardstock or patterned paper!
Merci for joining me on my Growing in Unity journey so far. Please come back for more cards on Thursday & Friday. Don't forget that each comment throughout the week is entered into the drawing for 2 {itty bitty} stamps of the winner's choice!
Happy Stamping!

I don't think I ever embossed on patterned paper. I like it! And thanks for the tip on the thin strip of paper for ribbon.
Excellent tip about using a strip of paper instead of ribbon, I'll try that some time!
