Freshly Made Half Circle in Metallics

The half-circle was painted with Coliro pearl metallics, as was the Penny Black flower and the horizontal strips.  I chose a Tim Holtz embossing folder for the card front and popped the poppy on foam dots for this Freshly Made Sketch.   (The leaves are metallic green but photograph gray.)

That One Layer Card

I used to dread the OLC challenge of Less is More but now and then it works just fine!  This new stamp (and die) set just arrived from Technique Tuesday.  "Juniper Joy" is a good winter floral; I painted with metallic watercolors.  The sentiment is included in the set.  (I've included a close-up to show the actual color of the berries.)

World Card Making Day

I didn't even know about this day until I saw a post on Leslie's Running with Scissors  Instagram post.  So I zipped into my craft room to make a card.  I had just pulled out some Halloween stamps to decorate an envelope to my granddaughter, so the pumpkin stamp (unknown source) was handy.  I  embossed in glittery gold and painted with my new Coliro metallic watercolors.  The center piece is also layered with gold cardstock. 

Happy World Card Making Day!
