Time Out #308 and JUGS #814

I made a card!!  Ha!  Yes, I have been busy elsewhere these days but today the mood for crafting struck - you know what that means... look for inspiration from some of my favorite challenges!

Time Out is CASEing the marvelous Stef Perry and her lovely card - AND celebrating their 12th birthday, too!  Stef's featuring her wonderful Copic-coloring skills which I love so much.  I chose to watercolor, so out came my Altenew watercolor palette and their Craft your Life: Hello Beautiful set!  Please take a look at Stef's card:
 




You'll see I've CASE'd Stef's use of gold heat embossing, dry embossing too! which was swiped with a small gold ink pad as she had done.

Speaking of EMBOSSING - my friend Bobby is the host over at Just Us Girls word
challenge and her word is EMBOSS!  I think I've got that covered - in gold!



Thanks so much for stopping by today - have a wonderful, crafty weekend!

It looks like you CASEd my CASE of Steff's, Michele. LOL Great minds think alike and that image was a great choice. Yours is beautifully watercolored and the gold edges bring out the gold embossing.

The embossing is beautiful with the gold highlights and so are those gorgeous watercolored flowers! I hope this means we'll be seeing more wonderful creations from you in the future. You've been missed, my friend!

Oh! There is so much gorgeousness here I can hardly take it all in. Beautifully inspired by Stef's amazing card. You've made a simply fabulous embossed background brushed in gold as a resting place for those lovely watercolored flowers.

Michele, your card is full of cool techniques and that embossed background is my fave. I love the gold heat embossing and your watercolored florals, too. What an artistic card for our challenge! Thanks for playing at JUGS!
