Hello my CMHCD friends,
For today I am sharing our next challenge at Color My Heart Color Dare. Here is my card for today, enjoy!
 |
| My neutral background and metallic embossed flower motif are accentuated by bright pink and white flowers. I added the pink using a pink ballpoint pen. While the ink was still wet I used my finger to smug the pink around the flower to create a halo effect. A white gel pen was used to pop the flowers from its dark backdrop. I finished the card by coloring the stems and leaves using a fine tip marker in dark brown. |

Now for our challenge!
 |
| After I stamped and embossed the background I sponged it with Vintage Photo, Gathering Twigs, and Walnut Stain Oxide Inks. I intentionally left space around the sentiment lighter than the rest of the card. I also added more Gathered Twigs DO on the flowers to darken them and distressed the edges using Vintage Photo DO. |
 |
| I stamped the flower motif then heat embossed it using silver. The sentiment stamp is from an old SU set. I liked it because the font has the same winding elements as the stamped background. |
Challenges Entered:
I chose heat embossing

Love how you got your card looking so vintage chic. Great colour choices for Colour Dare Challenge.
Super card Shawna. Love how you have used the neutral as your background and the pop of hot pink! X
Beautiful! Love how you gave it the vintage look!
Love the techniques you used for coloring your beautiful floral background... I don't think to use the white pen; but really adds a nice dimension along with the embossing. Beautiful card.
Your card is stunning! I love the vintage feel of it and your colors are perfect!
This is lovely!
Fabulous make for Color Dare!

Stunning card! It reminds of those beautiful embossed leather pursed. Your distressing is gorgeous.
You've created a beautiful floral pattern! The pink halo around the flowers gives the card a very dreamy look! Thank you so much for playing along at The Flower Challenge!
