I was hoping it would be gone in the morning but it is still snowing. Darn it!!!! I thought we'd seen the last of this white stuff.
Crafty Ann's challenge 8 - If music be the food of love
Sweet Sketch Wednesday 37
About this card....I had a play with my one and only Distress Ink, Tattered Rose, although it looks more like orangy peach to me. As I haven't got any of the blending stuff, I spritzed it with Isopropyl Alcohol and sprinkled on some gold embossing powder to liven it up. As it actually looks quite nice (although it doesn't show too well in the pic) I was detemined to use it for this project.
I stamped the lilac BP with butterflies embossed with clear EP.
The music is a Penny Black stamp and embossed with gold EP. Same for the 'Love' tag.
I am not really happy with this card though. It doesn't look balanced to me...I can't fault the sketch, it is lovely...I think it is because I used a landscape shape rather than the square. I will probably add something to the bottom left...maybe a punched butterfly or 3 gems.
Can you see the shiny gold ?
Thank you for stopping by :-)

Irene, what a gorgeous card. It's certainly given a nice effect with the addition of the gold embossing powder. I have Tattered Rose and yes it does look a different colour to what you'd think.
Thank you for taking the time to enter this into the Crafty Ann's Challenge this fortnight. I was lucky enough to be a Guest Designer this month so I am looking at all the lovely creations and seeing how others interpreted the challenge.
Take care and my best wishes, Kym xxx
It's lovely Irene. The glimmer across the centre piece is lovely and the the card as a whole just gorgeous.
Thank you sharing it with us at Crafty Ann's challenge.

I absolutely LOVE this card Irene!
The gold and glitter looks so luxurious and I don't think there's anything wrong with the balance.
I think we're all too critical of our own creations, if you saw this on someone else's blog, you'd probably love it (like I do)
Thanks for joining in with Crafty Ann's Challenge,
Fabulous card, very creative. The gold shows up great on the close up shot - really rich and lush!
