Hi everyone!! Just a quick pop in. Not feeling well and had to leave work early today. Went to the MD to get a flu test but alas, it is just a virus that has been kicking my butt since Friday!!
I slept all afternoon and had a quick chance to play tonight to make a card for a couple of challenges.
I bought the Simon Says Stamp Beautiful Flowers 2 set and had yet to ink it so I decided to create a simple birthday card.
I started the card by stamping the largest flower cluster in Versamark ink and then heat embossed with Ranger Superfine Gold Embossing Powder.
I then pulled out these really old paints I had called Radiant Pearls in Pink, Passion Flower, Sour Lemon and Bitter Apple and painted the flowers. It is difficult to tell by the photo but these paints have a sparkle and shine to them, like they had an overlay of Clear Shimmer.
I actually originally was going to make a one layer card with this BUT some mistakes happened and I had to cut down the stamped panel. Somehow the yellow got on my hands and there were little (and big) spots all over the white!! You can see some tiny spots on the panel I used but I didn't think it was that bad with the overall design so I went with it.
Well, that is all from me today. I tuckered myself out and need to get back to bed!!
I am entering this into the Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge and the Flower Challenge #29-using your latest stamps and dies. I know I will be doing another Flower Challenge post later on because I have a TON I have not used as of late and just received more in the mail on Saturday!!
I thank you for taking the time to stop by!! Have a GREAT night!!

Your card is so elegant and gorgeous! I love gold embossed flowers, but these are some of the best!
Love the bold bright colors Nora and beautiful design.

This is lovely, Nora. The gold strips around the sentiment tie into the gold embossing and I'm sure that pearl paint gives a great shimmer. Thanks for sharing your card with us at The Flower Challenge.
