Just Sharing

I participated in Deborah's Card Chain Challenge again this month. There were 3 challenge options: colours, a sketch or theme. I chose to follow the sketch and this is what I came up with.


























The flower stamp (Rubber Stampede) was embossed and I coloured the image with Liquitex Interference Paints in blue, green and gold. These paints have mica flakes in them that are metallic and change colour depending on the viewing angle. Very cool to use but really hard to get a good pic of. So this went off to the lovely Lin.

I also made a quick card for Hero Arts monthly challenge which is Flowers and St. Patrick's Day. I stamped the speckled flowers onto vellum and embossed in white. I punched a border and added some ribbon and pearls. Very quick!




















Thanks for stopping by!
