It was inspired by these challenges:
- Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge #138: to be inspired by this autumn photo
- Bring Back Beautiful Challenge over at Flourishes to use a stamping technique (I used masking and watercolor painting to color my mums)
- Flourishes Release Week Heavy Metal Challenge: to use a little metal on your card
- Ribbon Carousel Challenge # 23: anything goes
- Simon Says Stamp Challenge: Sparkle and Bling (my little gold spiral clip adds some nice sparkle, don't you think?)
- Paper Sundaes Challenge: Favorite Color Combo (pumpkin, saffron, lavender, and kraft is definitely my fave color combo for fall right now!)

super wow!
ReplyDeleteGreat card and worth sitting down to finish it! I have cards like that, too, but usually I just end up abandoning them to the "someday" drawer and then they get thrown out 3 months later. So huzzah to you for getting it done!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely stunning, Em! Beautiful watercoloring on this card. :)
