On My Mind - Unity FWF

Good morning! Happy Friday everyone! Just popping by to share my card for this week with Unity Friends with Flair:


This was a card I made recently for a publication call that wasn't picked up, so I get to share it here! I started off creating the background by running some white cardstock through a paper crimper. Then I rubbed a gold Gelato over the top in a random pattern, and blended and softened it with a water brush.


The main image is from the November 2013 Kit of the Month. I heat embossed with Gold Zing embossing powder on vellum, then fussy cut it out and adhere with foam adhesive. LOVE how the solid embossing, covers up the foam adhesive on the vellum! I masked and selectively stamped my sentiment from the same kit on a frame I fussy cut out of some pattern paper from an MME paper pad, then heat embossed that in white.


Tucked a wood veneer tag in there, added a few sequins, some pattern paper from Carta Bella, and some black jute twine in a bow at the top to finish it off!


Thanks so much for stopping by today! Hope you are having a wonderful day!!!
