For once, I'm not last minute with a card for the
Altenew July Monthly Inspiration Challenge. The color combo is beautiful and makes me think of sherbet! If you know me, you won't be surprised that I used another 3D embossing folder.
This is my newest one from Altenew and it's called Scalloped Flowers. I watercolored a wc panel with Altenew Sunkissed wc marker, Coral Berry Crisp dye ink and Fresh Lemon Fresh dye ink. After it was embossed, I swiped a white pigment pad across the raised edges. Boy does that make the design stand out! After splattering with Altenew Jet Black ink spray, I spritzed with Heidi Swapp white Color Shine. There's a video showing the shimmer in
my IG post.
Love the contrast with the Mid-Century Frame diecut which doesn't cover up much of the design. The sentiment from Modern Dahlia Bunch was black embossed and watercolored to match. Finished with black enamel dots. Always good to have a BD card ready to mail. I'm also entering
The Flower Challenge.
Thanks so much for taking time to stop by. If your blog address is in your profile or comment, I will visit you.
You nailed those colors, Greta! This is fabulous, my friend!
