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!

ReplyDeleteIt 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.
