This was a fun challenge! For my card, I used gold, watercolours and flowers.
To start this one, I took some watercolor cardstock and layered a few watercolors of blue and pink over it. Then I stamped the flowers with versamark and embossed them with gold. I used a rectangular die to trim it down and added the sentiment with some more embossing powder. I matted the panel to a top folding A2 white card.
Supplies:
Stamps: My Favorite Things - Pretty Poppies
Inks: Mijello Watercolors - Prussian Blue, Permanent Rose; Versamark Ink
Misc: Recollections EP - Gold

ReplyDeleteWell I can only think of one thing better than poppies and that's golden poppies! So pretty Cheryl.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty card - I love the background and the gold poppies - at first I wondered if you had used gilding flakes but I was wrong - fabulous embossing!
