This week's challenge is all about the inners....inside of the card, and how we finish our envelopes. I started by using a stencil and a sponge that was dampened with water. Using the ink pad sponged the stencil. I then added lines with a brush using the ink. Added sponging and the gold leaf lines with the pen. I did the same for the inside. The envelope is hard to see, but I scored three lines on the flap and added a gold line. Hope you can come and play in the challenge this week. TFL

Linda this is so beautiful. Love the gold edging love the ferns. When I got married we had ferns lining along the stage for the ceremony. I had to give them all away as we were going to be gone too long on the honeymoon and they would not have survived. I have long since wanted to get more but alas my home is too dark for ferns. They are so pretty and look fantastic on your card. Oh brings back great memories. Thank you for such a fantastic challenge! Hugs!

Wonderful watercolor using a stencil, and the gold edging sets it off perfectly. Gorgeous inside and out!

How lovely, Linda, with the fern and gold leaf lines!! I must learn to slow down and read challenges PROPERLY as I did not read the part about the envelope!!! Mind you, I tend not to decorate the envelopes at all.
