Done with all the rest...

Oh wow!  I wanted to participate in current Unity Be Inspired challenge and when I checked the date, it is due tomorrow (It's almost tomorrow already).  But I also wanted to go to sleep earlier... didn't happen!  Then I said... "I'm going to get this done"...  

And I made this card for the challenge using the color inspiration. You can find the details HERE.

I used different media to color, stamp and make a background for the sentiment...  distress inks, watercolor pencils, paint, pigment ink and glossy accents...





Really love the subtle effect of all these colors together.  I wish I could had taken a better photo, but it's dark...sorry.   I added a touch of gold with two acrylic paint brushes, which also add some movement.  I wanted the color to be behind the sentiment and not in the image, so just colored the center of the flowers and added glossy accents.  I wanted to do this because I wanted the sentiment to be the center of attention.  Don't you love these words?




The edges are distressed for the perfect imperfection touch I love.

Hope you like it.

I will link this to the Unity Be Inspired Challenge and also to next Friday Friends with Flair.  So make sure to leave a comment for a chance to win.

Have a great rest of the week.


PD. Here's a better photo I took in the morning with natural light. :)
