Still in California and using up a few more bits that I have been saving. These come from Greta and Betty (Thank You so much).
I heat embossed the diagonal striped panel in Gold, then colored the iris's with the watercolor brush tip pens. I fussy cut them out (ya I so dislike fussy cutting...but it was worth it.) and popped a couple in each embossed panel. Added a Hero Arts sentiment and mounted it on a layer of purple which was also sponged a bit along the edges for added depth and texture. I made two and just changed up the sentiment strip.
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Bold, striking and beautiful, Cat ... these are both lovely! Hugs, Anita :)

ReplyDeleteThese are stunning, Cat! I agree, the fussy-cutting took this over the top!
ReplyDeleteWow--absolutely beautiful work, Cat! I never thought to use the die cut that way--love it! Trying to talk myself into more fussy cutting so I don't have to buy all the dies, but we'll see if that works--haha!
