Hi Everyone, my DT card today is for We Love Stamping the theme being "Favourite Colours".
My favourite colours are anything, but I prefer bright! Hence my card, I coordinated with needing a card for hubby's Aunt who was 99. After photographing it for my blog, I decided to add die cut numbers of her 99 years.
Anyhow, I used a piece of linen card to have texture, then stamped the top corner and the bottom corner with the floral stamp I have used so many times, I love it. The sentiment was stamped, and they were embossed with gold powder. I wanted a bit of shine on the flowers too, so I used Pixie Powder, mixed on my glass mat and used a paint bush to add it to the large flowers. I used DI's to paint the paler flowers and then painted the leaves and centre of the flowers to match. The completed layer was attached to the main card. It does have a lovely shine, I couldn't get a photo of it to show it though.
There are always fabulous prizes, why don't you join us at the Favourite Colours Challenge? It lasts all January, the only criteria is, that stamping must be to the fore. Simple isn't it.
Beautifully designed and coloured in the fresh summery colourway Faith. I'm with you and bright.
