Altenew October Challenge

One thing I love about stamping is that we can make images any color we want.  So today I'm sharing my card with Fall colored morning glories for the Altenew October Inspiration Challenge.  I lean toward cool colors, so was surprised to end up with one of my favorite cards.  

I began by gold embossing the beautiful Altenew stamp and used the matching stencils to add color.  The inks are Altenew Firebrick, Maple Yellow and Firefly plus PTI Ripe Avocado.  The flower centers were colored with a gold gel pen.  I discovered a pack of  Terracotta cards I got years ago when Paper Zone closed.  Still miss that store.  Decided to cut one of the cards in half and emboss it with Altenew's Playful Leaves which I just got.  Inking the edges with Firebrick really added depth.  The panel and the focal point were splattered with gold watercolor which gives beautiful shine in person.  I gold embossed the sentiment from Altenew's Sweet Bouquet using the other piece of the Terracotta card.  I used a white diecut as a mat to help the sentiment stand out.  I'm also entering DCD, NBUS and WAW.
