Friends are the Essence of Life


Today the reveal for the January Card Chain Challenge went up... My card was sent off to  Dee in Kenya (via her sister in UK)  .....
  I do hope she receives it one day!!!
Hope all our CCC friends are safe and well


I managed to use lots of elements for this card... the colour palette, sketch, theme -flowers and friendship, and technique -colouring.
I hunted out some small flowers from all my sets and per the sketch - randomly masked and stamped and gold embossed them on kraft coloured card,  I used Distress Inks to blend pink and white diagonally across the panel, also stamped two flowers on white card, and fussy cut them, then I used Distress Oxide inks to watercolour the flowers and to sponge pinks shades to those on the card panel, adding Nuvo clear crystal drops to the flower centres and to finish the panel - stamped and gold embossed the sentiment.  I layered the panel with gold and bright pink card on a kraft card and to add some zing - brushed some sparkly Perfect Pearls over the flowers


Thanks for popping in, hope you have a wonderful creative week
