Today feels very special for me because I learnt yesterday that I had won the Twofer Challenge 14. I can't quite believe it, I am so thrilled and humbled as I never think my cards are good enough to win, so thank you for giving me such a boost. Other reasons for today to be special are - it's my birthday, my wedding anniversary and Mothers day! So much in one day, I have been very spoilt. Of course I now have a million thank you cards to do, so here is a start.
This card was made very quickly so it perfectly fits the AAA cards CAS game 137 made in minutes with an optional twist of dry embossing. Here is my card:
I embossed the tulips on a white card panel and then brushed Catherine Pooler grass skirt ink over the tulips gradually fading it out. The panel and the sentiment were then die cut and it was mounted on a dark green textured card base. It probably took about 10 minutes to make.
I really like Catherine Pooler inks, the colours are so vibrant and if you hadn't noticed green is a favourite of mine. I have resisted the urge to add embellishments to it, although it is possible that I might succumb before I post it out.
Here's a close up:
Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog today, I really appreciate it.
