Hi to you all, is it because we are now starting to head towards Xmas that the Challenges seem to be coming round faster? I feel like I'm having to step up a gear, so I'm thinking designs all the time (or so it seems).
I quite often set myself "challenges within the Challenge", and this card's challenge was not to use DP's. But what about the gold you maybe asking. Well technically it is a jeweller's gold foil gift bag that I have EF'd so did I get away with it? Also the top left panel is remnants from the patchwork card a while ago, and it is material, not paper. The leaf is a RAK from Lovely Linda and the embellishments are a daisy, stickon patterns, diecuts, vintage corners and gold brads. Images are bordered with dark green card (paintcard samples from Bunnings), and all has then been put on orange CS and shading is in Pinecone ink. It's a bit eclectic really, but I think it works, what do you think?
Thanks for looking and sharing your comments with me. always good to see who has "popped in" for a bit of Card R&R
