Challenge cards last day of February

Hi,

On this last day of February, I wanted to make the best out of, I created a couple cards for a few challenges.

My first project is for Inspired By All The Little Things #80

There are so many pretty elements in the photo, but I was most inspired by the pale blue wings, the flowers and the golden sentiment.  So here's my take:

I pressed Tumbled Glass ink onto the embossing folder before embossing my white panel.  Although the edges are not fully inked but I like that carefree imperfect look.  :)  I die cut my coffee cup and a few leaves from a gold embossed panel, and chose some flower scraps to put on the panel.

Supplies:

Tim Holtz Embossing Folder - Wings

Ranger Distress Ink (Tumbled Glass)

Versamark Watermark Ink

Gold embossing powder

Versamark Color (Raspberry)

For my second project I played along these challenge:

Simon Monday Challenge - In My Garden

Simon Wednesday Challenge - Anything Goes

Simon Says Stamps Flickr Challenge #91 - Anything Goes

For this card instead of stamping the floral image I "impressed".  I learnt this technique from Jennifer McGuire, you can refer to it in this post.  I used the SSS Single Rose die and an embossing mat to make the impression on a watercolor paper panel, then I spritzed water all over it then lossely watercolored the image.  After it's dried, I added another layer of Twinkling H2O watercolor to add shimmer.  The "hugs" die cut was given to me by my talented blog friend Lin Brandyberry , you could check her blog Sending Hugs.

Supplies:

Simon Says Stamps Cutting Die - Single Rose

Simon Says Stamps Clear stamp - Flower Friend

Hero Arts mid-tone shadow ink (Soft Granite)
