Favourite Colours - WLSC

Hi Everyone, my DT card today is for We Love Stamping the theme being "Favourite Colours". 

Please share our challenge logo

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.

floral stamp - Stamps by Me
sentiment stamp - Magazine freebie
embossing powder - Altenew Antique Gold 
Pixie Dust - Cosmic Shimmer Scarlet Mist 
inks - Distress Inks shaded lilac, spun sugar, lucky clover

 

 

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.

Happy New Year to you and yours.
Love this card and, at last, I am getting your posts so will have to back peddle a bit to catch up.
This card reminds me of a stamp I bought last year and haven't used yet so thanks for the 'prod'.... Your colours are really cheerful.
