I\’ve been off for a bit because we hosted my daughter\’s wedding in our backyard and then we went on a lovely extended vacation to The Outer Banks. We are back home now and I\’ve been working on several projects. I especially like this card.
I was in a watercolor mood and wanted to play with a three color palette. I love how pink, yellow and orange combine. I started by gold embossing Jane\’s Doodles Anemone on watercolor paper. I wanted each flower to be slightly different and selected Daniel Smith\’s Quinacridone Pink, Cad. Yellow Deep Hue and Cad Red Scarlet Hue. I love how vibrant the colors are!
I finished the card with pink, orange and yellow paint spatters. I always love that look on other people\’s cards but don\’t often use it on my own.
I included this second picture because I love the gold shimmery glow the heat embossing creates.
I\’ve entered this card in:
The Watercooler Wednesday \”Anything Goes\” Challenge. I love their prompts and frequently submit a card.
Addicted to Stamps Anything Goes Challenge I love their broad prompts which make it easy to play along.
Happy Little Stampers Watercolor Challenge I go through a lot of Get Well cards so this Challenge is great for me.
Update: I was so pleased to see that I was selected as a Watercolour Challenge Favourite at Happy Little Stampers!
Thanks for stopping by!
