It's a wonderful day in the neighborhood ♫ cause I was able to make a card and play along in StampTV Great Divide Release Party Challenge! I hope you were able to play, too!
She asked us to cut the layers into a piece or several pieces, any way we wish. I chose a simple angle, two layers. I cut a sliver of gold mirror card as a dividing accent (the great divide part) as well as some Japanese gold cording.
The flower is heat embossed with clear embossing powder, then sponged with distress inks. I masked the flower and splattered plain water over the red background. It was cut, mounted on black with about 1/8th inch all around both pieces.
Using the homemade 2nd most incredible stamping tool invented LOL, I stamped the vertical sentiment and then scattered some gold rhinestones using MMM to secure them to the card.
I messed up the first card and lost the second try. Third time? OK! I hope you have a wonderful week ahead ♥

This is gorgeous. I love your design and the red and gold. Since I can not get into Stamp TV I had no idea what the challenge was so I am glad you showed your entry. I wish you good luck. Hopefully, I will get into ginas site again soon.
ReplyDeleteI have the same story as Verna. We could not get into STV, so I too am so glad that I can see your beautiful entry. Love the soft colors with the gold.
ReplyDeleteGREAT day in your neighborhood! LOVE that big bold beautiful blossom (say that 10 times fast--actually have Bruce try lol) I should get those vertical greetings I have always adored them, I think they add so much to a card written in that manner! Gorgeous entry, Rosy! xo~
ReplyDeleteI love this, Rosy!! The touch of gold is the perfect accent to the large flower. The splattered background adds lovely texture, too!! Awesome!
