This card will be entered into the Challenges at Altenew, A Year In Review and Simon Says Wednesday, Anything Goes!
I chose October's Photo Inspiration:
I decided to do a bit of water coloring using my regular ink pads and a water brush. Inks in Daffodil Delight, So Saffron, Pumpkin Pie and Wild Wasabi. I used the Altenew stamp and dies sets, Magnolias For Her.
My flowers were first heat embossed in gold powder, as was my sentiment. I also splattered some inks on to my background panel. Yellow Enamel Dots for accents.
May you all have a happy and healthy new year! Cheers!
Enjoy~~
Beautifully done Donn! Your water coloring skills always blow me away. The black card base really sets this beauty off nicely. Happy New Years to yo as well!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Donna, yellow happens to be one of my favorite colors!! Loving that splattery background too...have a wonderful New Year...be safe too!!
ReplyDeleteThis is an amazing take on the autumn challenge and I love the flowers done in watercolor. That touch of gold makes these so impressive and set on the black, very classy.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, this is absolutely stunning. I love everything about it - the beautiful coloring, the design, and especially the splatter. I think everything is better with splatter. And setting the focal against the black is GENIUS!!!!
ReplyDeleteNot so genius, it's chocolate! lol

ReplyDeleteOh my that is just Gorgeous, I so love the look of gold embossing but keep forgetting to try it more, your coloring is lovely. I told my daughter about the suggestions of the honey and she said to thank you, they have her using an inhaler for that but she said she will try anything at this point.
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful! Love the splatters and all the gold.
