I've had this flower die for quite a while and thought it was time to use it!
The background is alcohol inks on yupo paper.
They are celebrating their 2nd birthday at The Flower Challenge, congratulations!
The theme is to add some sparkle to our cards. I've added shiny foil to the alcohol inked background and a sparkly gem to the flower.
It's an anything goes theme at Seize the Birthday.
It's anything goes at Happy Little Stampers anything goes with dies challenge.
Supplies:
Poppystamps Floral Stem Collage die; alcohol inks and blending solution; gold foil; sentiment sticker.
Thanks for visiting,

ReplyDeleteGorgeous card Cathy! Love the AI panel with the gold highlights. I love this die. Had to buy it after seeing Bonnie use it. :) We are good at enabling each other! :) xx
ReplyDeleteThis alcohol ink background is gorgeous Cathy, and the contrast with the white flower aperture to frame it is great. A really elegant card. x
ReplyDeleteI have this die, Cathy and I do love playing with alcohol ink, but I have never tried foil rubbed on the sticky areas (I have foil). Great idea and beautiful shiny addition, TFS Hugs..Nancy
