A happy Monday to all, hope you are all well.
Let's see...I made this as a Christmas-y New Year's card and have left the inside blank for now. It began with the 6x6" sketch below and this month's Gecko Galz challenge image. I pretty much chose everything to accent the amazingly beautiful image. The MFT sentiment was stamped and heat-embossed.
I chose this month's Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 Sketch #221, but turned it 90 degrees clockwise as shown to accommodate the image.
The Making Memories patterned paper I used on front and back is a luscious deep red with pink floral accents. I really wanted to use the paper but didn't like the pink with my image. So it occured to me to use a Sakura gold shadow gel pen to color over the pink. It was actually quite relaxing to do and didn't take that long, although my writing hand went a bit numb once or twice so I just took breaks. 😏
The back has the gel-penned patterned paper, with a stamped EK Success siggie.
MY CHALLENGE PLAYLIST:
Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 December: Sketch 221
Penny's Paper-Crafty #511: AG w/Paper
I was inspired by the red dress and green garland
I embellished my card with a shiny photo corner, die-cut flowers/sequins and a leafy ribbon
Absolutely stunning, Amy! I always love to see and read about your little details. The gold pen was an excellent idea and makes the beautiful red paper more opulent. The embellishments are perfect for your card. Beautiful work! Thank you for joining the Gecko Galz challenges - we really appreciate your support! Happy New Year to you and your loved ones. xx
