What a cool challenge!!! I really enjoyed making this card......took a while, but the results were worth the time!!!
As always, IRL these colors are different and really pretty together. They are not so bright and the dark brown base is NOT black like in the photo.
I really like Red Dragon ep and I started with that. I chose the colors that were in the ep. I used SU tacky tape over cs. I cut six different colors of cs and placed onto the tacky tape. I poured the Red Dragon ep and heat embossed. I mounted on dark brown cs. I stamped SU Words of Wisdom stamp onto yellow cs with Versamark and heat embossed with the Red Dragon. Then, cut into the weird shape and mounted onto three of the colors in the mosaic. I used corners that Pat Smethers (Thanks gal!!!) sent me and dew drops. I love the sparkle of the ep......so cool!
