I think I discovered a new use for your crimper!
I love dimension, so I am always looking for new ways to give my cards a "lift". Look what happened when I was playing today!
I did the top and bottom first, turned for 2 "clicks", then moved to the sides and adhered with glue dots.
Thanks for looking. :mrgreen:

Thanks for the tip. I am a crimper "lover", so it is nice to have another use for it.

Very cool Mona Lisa! (Love the colors as well.) And great timing! I had just pulled my crimper out the other day and used it for the first time in a looooong time and was wondering at the time what else I could do with it...can't wait to implement your technique.
Should we call it, "The Mona Lisa?"

That looks great! I like the way it frames the image. One of those "Duh! Why didn't I think of that ?!?" ideas!

aren't you a smarty! I thought I was big stuff when I discovered that I could get a dry embossed line by using the scorer on the backside of the paper. Guess I better start practicing!

I love this technique!!! It really adds dimension to a otherwise "flat" card. I love to use Spring Garden on white CS but always feel it needs a little something - this is it!!! Thanks so much for sharing! Your card is awesome by the way!

I've done something like this but just wanted to say the card is really nice. You did a great job on it and it's so springy looking, we could use some springy here in Michigan.

I knew someone else out there must have figured this out too! It's just so much fun when you feel like you might have a creative bone in your body after all!

Great look! Guess I'll have to dig my crimper out too. Can't remember the last time I used it.

You are very creative! Thanks for sharing. Whenever I demo my crimper at workshops, the ladies are always so impressed with it...this will definitely bring ooohs and aaahhs and maybe even a "mona lisa" smile. (I know, bad attempt at a joke)

That looks so awesome and I love the color combos!! I have this set too, and it can also be used to make some very nice bluebonnets (clearly I'm from Texas!). Keep on rockin' with that crimper!
