Welcome to another Merry Monday challenge. This week, Sue is our challenge hostess and she has a color challenge for us - black, gold and silver.
I chose to use black and white as my main colors, with splatters of gold and silver made with Twinkling H2Os, which I've just re-discovered after not using them for many years.
I used a die cut sent to me by my Merry Monday Secret Santa last year and black-embossed it a couple of times to give it some dimension and shine. For the white panel, I simply flicked Twinkling H2Os in gold and silver onto the panel using a paintbrush. Once it dried, I adhered the sentiment and then finished the card with some rhinestones. In this next photo, you can see the shimmer:
Thanks for visiting. I hope you have time to join in the challenge. Don't forget - Christmas isn't that far away :)

Hi and welcome! Today's card is for a very special reason. Mindy, who runs the Fab Friday challenge, had a baby recently and the rest of the Fab Friday team hijacked the planned challenge to do a baby card challenge! Fun, right? Mindy had a little boy, so I kept my card in the blue/green spectrum, which also meets the criteria at Just Us Girls this week.
For my card, I dug out my Twinkling H2Os which I've had for many, many years and barely used. In fact, probably 90% of them have never been used! To create the background, I first white embossed the image and sentiment onto watercolor paper. I then wet the paper and dropped on the Twinkling H2Os using a paintbrush. Look at that shimmer!
I finished the card with some homemade enamel dots which I made using Perler beads. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any locally so had to order online and the minimum size was 6000 beads, so I've got enough for several lifetimes :)
Thanks for visiting. Congrats to Mindy on your beautiful little boy.
