After all the stitching of the past two weeks, a card was finally produced for a couple of challenges. Fusion Challenge is all about color and a sketch which I rather loosely used and Merry Monday needed a bird. Virginia's last challenge is to use glitter altho you can't see it in the picture.
The background was stamped with PTI Meadow Greens and embossed with white HA emobssing powder and then watercolored. Then I die cut out the MFT frame and put it all back together on a card base. Die cutting an embossed piece is not the best idea since the embossing comes off in the die and it's a pain to clean out - also some of the design is lost. Since it wasn't noticeable for this card that didn't matter tho. The bird and branch are from Memory Box (no longer available) - cut from some silver metallic paper with WOS silver on top to give it some more shine (which doesn't show up very well in the photo). A few sequins for sparkle and done.
All for today - thanks for stopping by and love to read your kind comments. Betty
