Hi! This card was made for today's Sketch Challenge.
Yesterday did not turn out as I expected. I had PLANNED to CLEAN all day. Instead, I cleaned for about 2 hours and ended up GOING SHOPPING! GEEZ! I blame it on Mark and Markie. They TEMPTED me. Markie sing-songed, "Come on....We're going to HOBBY LOBBY!" Ahhhhhh...the Siren Song of the crafter.....
So, today, I WILL CLEAN my house. I SWEAR it...AFTER I go to Hobby Lobby again...They have a FABULOUS SALE going on!!! LOL!
The Siberian Iris was stamped in VersaMark onto Watercolor paper. (I found the watercolor paper at Hobby Lobby, on the CLEARANCE AISLE!!!) Next, I embossed it in Gold. I used SU! markers to color. Then, I used an Aqua Painter to blend.
The swirls are a Big Shot Die! The sentiment treatment is Nesties!

Faith, this is so pretty. I love the gold embossing. Shopping is more fun than cleaning any day. Especially if the shopping is at Hobby Lobby. Walmart not so much fun.
