I used gold embossed images from Altenew that my dear friend, Bonnie, sent me ages ago. I really need to be better about using up gifts! I watercoloured with my zigs and fussy-cut. I added a pierced border and a gold embossed sentiment to match. I arranged the flower spray in the bottom right corner of the pieced rectangle, popping up the large flower for added dimension.
Thanks for stopping by!

Absolutely beautiful. I'm sure this will help your friend feel so much better as she recovers. Thank you so much for sharing! :)

ReplyDeleteClassy card! Will brighten your friends day. Your technique of gold embossing image and sentiment and Zig water coloring sure does make an impact, particularly with a beautiful flower stamp.

ReplyDeleteLoll, this is fabulous how you colored and arranged those flowers and leaves! Totally pinning this!
ReplyDeleteI love the intense colors, beautifully harmonize with each other. Gold stamping adds elegance. When you have such good and dedicated friends, you do not need to have all the stamps of the world to make an amazing card. By the way, I greet you Loll, my dear friend, for everything you have given me.
