Killing two birds, or challenges, with one stone, doesn't usually work for me, but today, I made it happen!! The colourQ challenge colors gave me a bit of trouble at first but I like how this turned out. I was going to add some smaller gold flowers but chose to keep my card a little simpler. I love gold embossing! I used a homemade template to mask the background, which leads me to my second challenge for PTI's Make it Monday. I used Wplus9's Freehand Florals and Neat & Tangled Scandinavian Prints for the sentiment. I finally got a mini MISTI!! I usually don't buy into the hype of new products, but the MISTI truly delivers. I have a terrible time getting evenly stamped images and the MISTI improves my stamping tremendously. I used PTI's Stampers Select White cardstock and SU! Cameo Coral cardstock. I also used PTI's True Black ink, SU! Cameo Coral ink, and Delicata's Golden Glitz ink. Thanks for stopping by and have a great Memorial Day weekend!!
Adorable card! The gold embossing makes it zing!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card--love those roses and the pretty gold accents. Thanks so much for playing along at ColourQ this week.
ReplyDeleteI really like the boldness of this card. It catches the eye immediately, and I think that's not just the lovely flowers but the way you've let the stripes speak instead of just being a background element. You really gave them room and I think that makes this card work very, very well. Bravo!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day and week ahead :)
