This card has been a while in the making. I watercoloured the image (with Twinkling H2Os) a week ago, and unusually was really pleased with how that went. (I'm not at all confident of my watercolouring!) And then, I had the tough job of finding a layout and colourscheme that would work.
I was not impressed that the first time I put it together, the gold mirri-card seemed to stretch somehow, leaving the top layer slightly wrinkled. I tried to continue the wrinkling around the image to make it look like it was intended, but that really didn't work. Fortunately, Colall Photoglue is incredibly forgiving and while it seemed 'stuck' the layers pulled apart quite easily and I was able to replace the gold layer!
I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:
Card Creations where they want embossing (heat embossed image)
Crafty Emma where they want our favourite colour combinations. Well, I knew I love combining pastels, but the addition of the browns and copper is a revelation to me, and one I suspect I'll use again!
Mark's Finest Papers where they want papers, stamps and inks but no embellishments.
Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge where they want us to dust off our stash. (My Twinkling H2Os were buried under a pile of other colouring media before I dragged them out this week, and that Gemstone card is hoarded because I love it so much!
Delicious Doodles where they have a fantasy/mythical theme,
Phindy's Place where they want embossing (heat embossed image),
Flutterby Wednesdays where they have an open challenge this week,
Craft Your Passion where anything goes.
