Winnie & Walter Belated 2nd Birthday Bash | Challenge 1

Hi peeps,

First of all ♥ Happy Valentine's Day ♥

Today I show you a card that isn't only for this occasion but also for Winnie & Walter's Belated 2nd Birthday Bash. They are having a month long celebration going on filled with fun challenges, lots of inspiration, special guests and fabulous giveaways! I hope I will be able to take part in some of the challenges – there are 10 in all!

This is my take on the Gold + Watercolor Challenge hosted by Heather Hoffman:

For my watercolor background I did a loose wash with some Distress Inks («Spun Sugar», «Picked Raspberry» and «Abandoned Coral»). When everything was completely dry I die-cut it using the smaller scalloped and pierced frame from the «Essentials: Audrey Cutaways» set.

Then I heat embossed the faceted heart from the «True» stamp set in Gold and fussy cut it out. I combined two stamp sets («My Precious» and «True») to create my own sentiment and stamped it in VersaFine «Onyx Black».

I adhered a piece of golden striped paper from My Mind's Eye to my card base. I wrapped some golden string around my watercolor panel and tied a little bow. For some dimension I popped up the panel and the heart with foam tape.

Thank you so much for stopping by!
