My card today is for Altenew Academy - day 5. It involved some masking and then several coloring techniques with alcohol markers.
One of the things Kelly had in her lesson was a gradient background for her flowers. My colors that I chose for both the background and the flowers were running dry so didn't do any shading of the blue and really had tough time with the flowers. I couldn't bring myself to do the sentiment the way she did it - I am too much of a perfectionist and didn't have the guts to do it in case I messed up my coloring. I did add drop shadows though and other details which I really like. I will finish this card when I need it for something special as I think the coloring took over an hour.
EDIT: A friend need a 50th anniversary card - I die cut "50" from gold metallic paper and placed that in the middle - added a nice anniversary sentiment inside - done!! And Susan loved it!
