I am loading this for today's challenge. I actually made this per request for someone's 70th birthday. I put on the finishing touches today. Even though I didn't start from scratch today, I thought it went well with today's challenge. I hope to do another card later.
I colored all the roses w/spectrum noir alcohol markers. I embossed the background and added liquid pearls. The purple flowers are actually the negative from a lattice die put together to make flowers. I brushed over the 70 with liquid pearls so it would have a little bit of shine too. I also added liquid pearls to the centers of them. The half pearls took a lot of time on this card. They were each hand applied to make the design. I enjoyed making this card sooooo much! I hope the birthday girl enjoys receiving it as much as I did making it!
Thanks for looking!
