Welcome
Firstly may I say to all who read this, may you have a wonderful Festive Season, no matter how you celebrate. Thank you for visiting, and I so appreciate your support.
This card was made some time ago, and I am not sure of everything I used - opps

The background was one I made while I was house sitting, and I seem to recall it was a Memory Box cover plate. I water coloured the leaves in a pale yellow.

The background for the rose (one of my original stamps, so about 20 years old) was a piece of textured card I had used for 'mopping up' inks, then flicked gold paint over. The image and sentiment were gold embossed, then the image highlighted with my Polychromo pencils.

I also gold embossed the edges of the focal panel, the textured background and the yellow card base.
A strip of lace lemon was added to one side of the panel.

I finished the insert with some gold dotted washi tape.
On a personal note, the concussion is finally receding, but it has been a very quiet week!

ReplyDeleteMaxine, this is so pretty. The lovely yellow rose and touches of gold bring an elegance.
ReplyDeleteIt's a very sweet and fresh card, love the palette with the added gold, the lace and the rose. The pinpoint panel with the coloured leaves looks great!

ReplyDeleteWhat a good idea to colour the leaves of that debossing plate. I have the same one and have never thought of that, so thank you. Your yellow rose is beautiful too. love the whole card, so cheery. I am the same when I make cards a while before I post them. You think you will remember what you did, but unfortunately you don't. Well I don't anyway. Wishing you a fabulous Christmas xx
