Sometimes, just sometimes, coloring outside the lines is fun, liberating almost!
The Heart Desires posted an absolutely gorgeous inspiration photo for
The Heart Desires Challenge 3. I decided to focus on the woodgrain and metallic, and skipped the succulents, just because I really wanted the beautiful Tree Ring Stamp to shine!
The Heart Desires Challenge 3. I decided to focus on the woodgrain and metallic, and skipped the succulents, just because I really wanted the beautiful Tree Ring Stamp to shine!
I first stamped the Concord & 9th Tree Ring in some maroon pigment ink onto watercolor paper and heat embossed it in clear. I then added some fuchsia watercolor to the ring, going outside the lines in some areas. After the image dried, I adhered the panel onto a kraft card base. I then die cut the sentiment out of gold foil and finished the card with a few gold sequins.
I like the rustic artsy pink wood paired with the glitz and glam gold!!
