Roses and Shiny Gold
We're enjoying the NFL playoffs, even though our team didn't make it. Couldn't wait to use my new Impression Obsession Sketched Roses again & finished up this card between games.
This time I gold embossed on Bristol paper & colored with 2 pink & 2 green Zigs. Then I spritzed heavily with gold Perfect Pearls for that awesome shimmer.
This is my first card using the IO All-in-One Frames-Ovals which I cut from black cardstock & stacked 2 high. I also cut the sentiment (Greetings Top Edgers) from black & attached it to the back of the frame before adhering it to the roses panel. The card front was heat embossed with the same gold powder to match. Sequins provide a bit more shine & the panel was mounted with fun foam. I'm entering Impression Obsession, Allsorts, HLS Watercolor, Time Out & WAW. Thanks so much for taking time to stop by.
