Pink and purple :-)

Hello, I just had to share the fun I had with this card this afternoon.


I have a friend who has limited sight and I wanted a card for here that had images that stood out - so I went for gold embossing, dry embossing and colour contrast.


The images are from Priscilla Styles Store and after printing them onto a bright pink vellum type of paper,  I heat embossed them in gold, then coloured the over-skirt on the frock with a glitter purple pen.  These images were then trimmed and stuck to white card.


The background paper is some that I painted eons ago, and I ran it through the Cutttlebug in the Oriental Weave folder.  The purple corner treatments are Vintage corners - again cut in the cuttlebug - where would I be without my trusty cuttlebug!!


I sponged the edge of the base card with purple ink, mounted everything onto it, and then added the rhinestones.


A quick card that I enjoyed making - I hope you have enjoyed the journey.
