Hello everyone! If you are looking for the Blog Candy post, please scroll down several posts. Contest ends soon!
Earlier this afternoon I posted a similar card to this one:
I put them in two posts because I want to enter each in different challenges.
This version is more elegant, the other more cute and whimsical (see this post). I colored an ornament from Flourishes' All That Glitters using Copic markers. I also added touches of gold with my new Smooch Accent Ink. Neat stuff! It has a superfine brush tip to add the gold just where you want it.
I kept the wreath made of Rose Leaf punched leaves, but adorned it with bling instead of twine.
Challenges:
Other: Big Shot, circle Nesties by Spellbinders, dimensionals, gold cord from Michael's, Smooch Accent Ink in gold, craft glue, red rhinestones from Queen & Co., gold ball bling from Recollections, Copic markers
