After getting home from being away for a few days, the first thing I needed to do (after laundry!) was get in my craft room and create a little! I've been wanting to play with this Concord & 9th set (Happy Day) and today seemed like a good day to do so!
I gold embossed the floral cake image and watercolored using a few of my favorite colors. I added a few small sequins and used clear Wink of Stella on the icing for a hint of sparkle.
Thanks to these challenges for the inspiration:
A new challenge on the block!!!
(I selected the diagonal: heat embossing, free space, gold)
So glad you played at Tic Tac Toe - this is a beautiful card!!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely STUNNING! There's so many things I love about this card that I could wax on for pages and pages... I think I especially love the combo of embossing with the watercoloring. It's just perfection. Thanks for joining us at TTTC this week!
