Stampin! with Jaydee

Hi Everyone.  Happy Sunday.

It's the fabulous Joanne's turn to host our Paper Players challenge this week and she has a challenge that should be right up my alley!  

Now... this is a GREAT challenge and ... as I said...should have been right up my alley.   But.. I have done so many cards with coloring recently - especially pencil coloring - that I decided to try and do something different. 

I pulled out some Holbein watercolor paints in a gorgeous shade of pink and paired that with some gold embossed Sketchy Flowers. 

I began by gold embossing the flowers onto a piece of Hot Pressed watercolor paper and colored the flowers with the Holbein paints.  I cut the front panel to 5 and a quarter inches and added a piece of foil gold washi tape to the outer edge.  It doesn't look that flat in the photo because it reflects so much light:-)   I die-cut a sentiment in gold mirror cardstock and mounted that to the card base.

Here's my card:

To finish off the card, I added some gold splatters and some gold glitter Nuvo drops to the center of the flowers.  I love the pink and gold together - although it is NOT a color combo that I would normally use.  However, Rose and gold seems to be a trendy color combo these days.  Not that I ever consider myself in the least bit trendy :-)

I hope you will join our challenge this week.  If you are looking for some inspiration - you have to look no further than our the creations from our amazing design team:

Jaydee
