Now that I have a few weeks without travel ahead of me I can participate in the Card Chain Challenge put together by Deborah Nolan. It is fun to send off a hand made card and to get one in return. You can sign up for the July chain here.
I decided to use the colors and the sketch very loosely. My card is going to the fabulous Becca of The Damsel of Distress, and I want to make a card she will hopefully enjoy. My two favorite things are embossing and water colors.
I prepared a water color panel, after it dried I added some embossing paste leaves. While those were drying I water colored some flowers, and also heat embossed some flowers on vellum as well as the sentiment. Once everything was dry, I cut the panel down adhered the flowers and sentiment. Added some flicks of gold, some black liquid pearl and added it all to a coordinated base card.
Supplies: Canson Water Color Paper, Liquid Pearls, Heidi Swap Color, Goldens Molding Paste, Kuretake watercolors, Gourment Rubber Stamps Stencil, Simon Says Stamp Artful Flowers, Vellum, SU Cardstock.
Becca will love this card - or anyone else for that matter who would receive it!!
