I am meant to be posting about my homework from the online copic class that Ruth & I decided to do together. BUT.........
I got sidetracked when I looked at the Less is More Challenge - Jewel colours. An idea jumped into my head and I had to do it first. I couldn't decide which would look better gold or silver embossing so I did both so I could compare.
After comparing them I love both.
This is the image that inspired me.
I did this one first and didn't really plan out where to lay the gems other than I wanted them to look like they were raining down and there was room for the sentiment (mmmm yes planning ahead!!).
I used the Zig pens and they work brilliant as long as I remember to use the Canson watercolour paper. just a thin line down the left side then come in with water on the brush.
Finished with a silver embossed sentiment. The sentiment is from The Ton stamp set and the gems from Winnie & Walter stamp set.
This time in gold embossing. Planned my gems better in their fall down the card but forgot to leave enough room for the sentiment hence the very close edge.
Same colouring as the other just different start order. I really really love these cards. So easy and so pretty.
Heres the gems up close.
I would like to enter the silver embossed card in the
I would also like to add these to
Just realised I should be entering this in the Winnie & Walter Challenges, their stamps and all
Okay I will be back with my online class homework.
Hope you enjoy your visit and come again soon.

Perfect stamp choice for our challenge and those colours are so vibrant. I think the colours pop much more with the silver so glad you linked that one up here.
Thanks for sharing with us.
