For this week's faux enamel technique challenge, using this week's sketch for the layout.
Here's the story:
I didn't have enough clear ep for the technique, so I went shopping, day-before-yesterday. Tripped and fell, bruising and skinning my knee (which is now more colorful and more dimensional than this card) and messing up my shoulder. Then I spent yesterday at the walk-in clinic, trying to figure out the shoulder issue. Just soft tissue damage, thankfully. So, I'm just now getting around to finishing this card! And, yes, I got the ep, as well as a frozen pie that was consumed only for the tin...
I double-double embossed the leaves. First, I embossed with the retro circles, then with the branches with leaves. I colored with copics, then heat embossed the lot with clear ep.
Paper crafting can be hazardous. I'm very grateful for Tylenol.

What an absolutely beautifully designed card! Not only is your enamel technique stellar but all the elements that you chose to showcase it ROCKS! I was most curious about the comment about consuming of the pie only for the tin...and your fall made my shoulder and knee hurt! I HATE falling at this age and I have done my fair share in the past few months. I hope that pie tin went to good use and that the pie that was in it tasted fabulous!
It's September and I am just seeing this. Your card is really pretty. It caught my eye immediately.
Your story was funny although probably not so much for you. Glad you're ok!
