A little note...

Hi there!

Happy Saturday to you!

5 in the afternoon here and our weekend in the UAE is almost something of the past. As you might or might not know, the working week starts on a Sunday and end on a Thursday, in this part of the world...

... But we had a great relaxing weekend, spending lots of time outdoors, with just enough time to make a card for a couple of my favorite challenges!

So, here it is:


Pretty Posies from Casual Friday stamps


Challenges:

Freshly made sketches ~ Sketch by Cindy ( a classic favorite layout )

CASual Fridays ~ Everything turns to gold.

Darnell's NBUS ~ With the optional twist of coloring on kraft.

I stamped the Pretty Posies (NBUS) from CASual Friday stamps with Versamark and gold embossed it.
I used Derwent Inktense pencils to color it and added the finishing touches of gold glitter washi tape and rhinestones.



             Never-Before-Used-Schtuff (Stamps, Dies, EFs, etc.)



That's it for today!

Hugs and thanks for looking!

Hannelie

    So pretty with the gold on kraft and your watercoloring. Rhinestones perfectly placed. Love the red and the gold glitter Washi tape, too. Those flowers look fun to color!

    Your card is gorgeous, as is your coloring ... as is the kraft cardstock you've used! So much texture - mind if I ask: whose cardstock is it? thanks!
