Happy Wednesday!
It's time for some Heartfelt Creations inspiration! This week I used the Majestic Morning Accents Set and Tombow Markers!
I almost always use pencils and mineral spirits for coloring images, but this week I wanted to try something different. So this time I embossed the image with gold embossing powder on watercolor paper and colored it with Tombow Markers using water and a water brush. It's not too bad, but I think I'll stick with pencils!
After coloring the image, I die cut it with an oval die, added a scalloped oval cut from the designer paper, and then Floral Oval die cut from cream card stock. Behind the image I added an embossed green mat and some of the pretty plaid designer paper. To finish the card, I added gold microbeads, some matching ribbon, pearls, button, and a tag cut from the designer paper.
Here's a little close up of the image.
Be sure to visit the HC Blog to see the beautiful creations by the designers this week and also a sneak peak of the release for February, "Raindrops on Roses"! I LOVE the colors and images for this new collection!
I'm submitting this to the following challenges:

Very happy and brightly colored. The flowers are beautiful.
ReplyDeletePretty card Katy, really like the gold embossing. Your lovely flowers almost look like they were embroidered!
ReplyDeleteI really love this card. It's so beautifully designed and delicately colored. The bow is the perfect accent. Everything you do is sheer perfection!
