OCTOBER CARD CHAIN CHALLENGE

My October card was sent to Elena in Ohia. I used the suggested colors of pumpkin, chocolate and cherry and made a friendship card for her.


I began by stamping the flower background in black on watercolor and then clear embossing.  Pulled out various DI inks in oranges, reds and a little yellow and green.  Put the color on my glass mat, spritzed with a little water and used a small piece of acetate to pick up the color and add where I wanted it.  Wasn't too careful if the colors ran over a bit.  Dried between layers until I was happy with the results.  Cut the piece down and layered onto a dark brown mat with a foam backing.  Added to a card base along with the sentiment and done.

The Card Challenge is always so fun and you can meet new friends from all over the world.  Join the November challenge here.

Thanks for stopping by today.
