Milestone #2: I've been blogging for 3 years! So glad a couple of my cardmaking friends convinced me I could do it. Thank you so much for all the support with your sweet comments. Life is indeed sweet!
Today's card uses one of my favorite color combos--pink & gold. I also used one of my favorite stamp sets--PTI The Sweet Life. Embossing paste colored with Distress Paint spun sugar was spread over a stencil I made from the PTI Hexagon coverplate. The rose was stamped with Distress Ink spun sugar & Delicata Golden Glitz. A branch from Turning a New Leaf was white embossed & the sentiment from The Sweet Life was gold embossed on vellum. I used gold thread under the leaves & mounted the rose with foam tape. Finished off with some white sequins. I'm entering PTI MIM, SSS Wed & Pixies Snippets Playground. Thank you for visiting my blog.
This is so beautiful, Greta! I love the gold touches. And, guess what? I completely forgot that I have this PTI sweet life stamp set. Now that you have reminded me, I may just have to use it for some of their challenges, too.
