Guest Designing for Just Us Girls Challenge #325 - Trend Week

Hello my dear friends! I am super excited to be the Guest designer for the awesome Just Us Girls Challenge for the month of January 2016. Every week JUGs challenge blogs brings a unique challenge to spark your creativity. It is full of fun and creative inspiration. 

The second challenge in January is for the Trend Week #325 - Use Metal/ Metallic which is being hosted by awesome Sue :)
Embossing with gold is what hit me when I saw this week's challenge and here's what I created...
To make this card, I took a water color card base and heat embossed the leaves and sentiment (using CFS - Casual Comfort) in gold embossing powder. Then to add a next level of metallic sheen, I used Twinkling H2O and created a brush stroke panel over the embossed area. Finally, I added a gold foiled patterned paper along the lower edge after die cutting it (using SSS Wavy Scallop dies)

That finishes my card! I hope you like it and will play along with us, HERE

Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving me a comment !
