WWC268 – Dawn’s Challenge: All About Occasions

 

IMG_0954 (2)

Hello and welcome

Today it’s time for our new challenge over at Watercooler Wednesday! This week it is Dawn’s Challenge – All About Occasions.

Image may contain: text

Today’s card features Pink Fresh’s Partial Cut Floral Frame.

I started by gold  heat embossing the stamp set and watercolouring with Distress Inks.

The flowers were then fussy cut.

The card front had ink smooching with splatters of blue, pink and yellow.

The sentiment from Pink Fresh – Floral Frame was gold heat embossed.

A gold frame was cut using Fancy That dies.

The flowers were then arranged to look as though they were falling out of the frame. Some were added with raised tape for dimension.

To finish, I added some Nuvo Drops.

Sadly, I wasn’t happy with the way it photographed as it always looks dull!  It is really quite soft and pretty IRL!  😦

Thanks so much for taking the time to visit.  I love to read your comments.

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!

Stay safe and have a good day

Cheers

Helen

I live in sunny Queensland, Australia with my husband and daughter. Since I was a child, I have always loved to create and have enjoyed all kinds of crafts, sewing and painting. China painting helped develop my understanding of colour and design. Over the last few years card making has taken up a major part of my crafting time as I love to play with new techniques and mediums. Since beginning my blog, entering various challenges has encouraged me to grow my skills and creativity.
