Hello and welcome
Wishing you and your family a wonderful 2020!
Today it’s time for the first challenge for the new year over at Watercooler Wednesday! I hope you like our new look challenge titles! This week it is Karen’s Challenge –Anything Goes with a Feminine Twist.
I really like how this card turned out! Just a bit different and I hope the person I have in mind will enjoy it!
To begin, I cut the notice board from Hero Arts – My Monthly Kit – January 2019 – 1 with the fold and once with the fancy top.
Around the fancy front, I added 2 layers of Wink of Stella to give shine and interest, before attaching it to the front panel.
I cut the centre board panel from black card and trimmed the bottom edge with my Friskers edge punch. The sentiment from Hero Arts Florals Nasturtium Set was white heat embossed before the panel was glued to the front.
A circle of gold glitter card was then added on top.
To finish, I stamped and gold heat embossed Hero Arts – Floral Rose Stem, watercoloured with Kuretake Gansai Tambi Watercolours and fussy cut.
Although it had many layers, it cam together rather quickly. It’s a shame the shine isn’t as clear in photos as IRL!
Don’t forget to head over to our blog to check out the wonderful inspiration from the rest of our Design Team.
I look forward to seeing what you create this week!
Thanks so much for taking the time to visit. I love to read your comments.
Have a great day
Cheers
Helen
