 | | Made this card for the Merry Monday #178 challenge - red and gold.
I smooshed some diluted inka gold onto mixed media paper for the background panel. I stamped and heat embossed in gold, the candles and poinsettia image on watercolour paper. I coloured them with my zigs and delicata gold ink, and then fussy-cut.
I felt the card needed something extra, so used a metallic gold pen to add a hand-drawn frame. The sentiment was heat embossed, and the candles popped up for added dimension.
