November 2016 Photo Inspiration Challenge
This will be a quick post today. I was making Christmas cards and wanted a change of color. I sure got that with the inspiration photo. I use only three Distressed markers to make my card and layered them to make a darker color. They are Faded Jeans, Festive Berries, and Mustard Seed.
Here is the finished card.
I used clear embossing powder on Water colors paper and then water colored the flowers and leaves, with the colors of the inspiration photo. After drying, I added a border on the side from Penny Black. There are two different borders in this pack called Border edges and I used them both. There is one in the inside too. A few sequins form Pretty Pink Posh in 4mm, Marigold.
Oh, Barb, this is GORGEOUS! I love how you've used the Photo Inspiration challenge, and I love the beautiful PB border set that I have. Stunning coloring and card! You are amazing! Hugs, sweet friend! xoxo
