This week's challenge is to use...Aqua, Silver (or gray), and White.
I made my card cutting a die cut loaned to me from a friend. I heat embossed it (My door) with detailed white embossing powder. I wanted the door to look like enamel. I used a copic pen to color my insert Aqua using copic color BG15 (Aqua) I punched out leaves for my wreath using a Martha Stewart punch, and added a silver brad, ribbon and some aqua stick on beads. My brick background was made by husband I printed it out in gray... Would you believe he drew each and every brick by hand? He has a lot more patience that I do. But I think all his effort has been worth it. It has come handy for me for several cards that I have made. (And for some others who have used it for their cards...
Thank you for visiting my blog today...
