Hi! This card was made for today's Limited Supply Challenge: My Favorite Things!
We are up very late because our house smells like Rotten Eggs...Don't ask...I'll tell.....
The flea spray must have spoiled. And, before I knew it, I had sprayed Speedy the Cat with it....He is NOT happy with me....Neither are Mark or Markie...I think I'll have to go back and get another 3 cans of Oust....Is WalMart still open at 1:30AM???
For the challenge we were to use our favorite set, stamp company, or image. Orange roses are my favorite! We were to use 3 of our favorite colors. My favorites are Pumpkin Pie, Always Artichoke and Copper. We were to use UP TO 3 embellishments. I used: Cording, faux stitching dots, circle Nestie. And, we could use as many techniques as we wanted. I used my 3 favorites in this order: Ink, Spray and Smash for the background, Heat Embossing for the image, and water coloring with markers for the image.

Gorgeous as always. I love your cards. I love the technique of embossing the image in gold and then watercolouring it. I think I must try that technique. Thank you for the inspiration! Can't wait until your next card!!

Hello Beautiful! I love this favorite things challenge and looks like you have done well with it. This card is so elegant and filld with sparkle and your colors always move me. Thanks for sharing Faith and Happy New Year!
P.S. About that awful smell, lavender has a pretty scent in essentials oils. Just a thought!
