It's Sunday and time for a new challenge at The Paper Players!
The fabulous Anne Marie is our hostess this week and she has an amazing color challenge for all of us! I must admit, this caused me some stress, but I finally decided what I wanted to do and I love this bold palette. We can't wait to see what you create.
This card was created for my Mommy! She turned 92 last week. The background layer is Pretty Peacock. The next panel is embossed with the striped embossing folder. I love these leaves and I used the Vintage Stamps from SU again this week. I used the Cajun Craze and Blackberry Bliss inks to create a watercolored panel. I then used Versa Mark ink to stamp the leaves. I heat embossed them in gold embossing powder. I used the matching dies to cut them out. I added a twine bow and heat embossed the sentiment.

These colors made me pause for a minute too, but your watercolored gold-embossed leaves are just beautiful! I love the subtle stripes on the background as well! I hope your mama had a good birthday and enjoyed this card!
ReplyDeleteThat gold embossing is just gorgeous Claire!! It's stunning!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE what you did with these colors, Claire! Those gold embossed leaves are just stunning and the embossed panel beneath them looks fabulous! I hope your Mother had as wonderful a birthday as possible given the pandemic and all that, and especially since every year for someone over 90 is a BIG DEAL!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful embossed leaves, Claire! Really wonderful with these Fall colors. I know your Mom loved it! And...Happy Birthday to her! :)

ReplyDeleteClaire, I just love the watercolored detail and gold embossing on the leaves. Such beautiful detail! I'm sure your Mom loved it as well and I hope she enjoyed her special day.
ReplyDeleteClaire... 92! what a gorgeous card to celebrate such a milestone. I love the textured background and those leaves are EVERYTHING. They are just gorgeous. I also love the layered sentiment and the twine bow is the perfect finishing touch. I bet your mom LOVED this work of art.
