Lovely Day

Hello~

We had an early dinner tonight, so afterwards I was able to get back to my craft space.  One more card today.  It was inspired by Cupcake InspirationsThe Card Concept, and CAS Colours and Sketches.



I use a Penny Black Stamp with platinum embossing and I carefully copic colored it  despite the embossing. (Popular wisdom suggests not to color heat embossing with copics, as the solvents in the marker may dissolve the embossing material resulting in a damaged marker tip.)

              

Thanks so much for visiting!

That is a home run diamond if I ever saw one. Three diverse challenges perfectly nailed! Those blossoms are beautifully colored, and I love that you've left the leaves black and white. Awesome CAS card, CAt. LOVE it. xo Bev

This is really gorgeous, Cat! Simple design with lots of white space, but lots of color, too. I love it like that! Yes, it's true about Copics and embossing, so you just have to be careful. I like the platinum embossing.
