I think I was at an all time record s l o w this week!
I think I have the flu, luckily not the stomach variety. But the sneezing, coughing, aching, just like the medicine commercials variety!
I embossed backgrounds yesterday. Alcohol inked this afternoon and finally made a card tonight! I'm glad I finished! Sorry I had to photograph at night.
Here are my backgrounds.
And
here is my card.
I tried finishing the card by die cutting a sentiment from the same glimmer gold, but it just didn't pop. I also tried a kind of raspberry red metallic, but wasn't crazy about it, so finally settled on a tree and cardinal! I'm happy with my finished card. I hope to use the other backgrounds soon.
I also tried some metallic mixatives but I wasn't crazy about how they turned out. Maybe I didn't shake long enough? The inks really don't like to move at all on watercolor paper! I did swipe with blending solution.
Thanks for the challenge Connie!
