A little Gold

I am really loving the Tim Holtz Creative Chemistry 101 class. Yes, I am behind...the 102 class is nearly here. Oh well!
I used the same brushless water color technique for this card that I did for the last post, but I like how this turned out. I only went over it with a little Creative Inspirations Chocolate paint and some Egyptian Gold Twinkling H2O along the top of the flowers. I wasn't happy with the dots I made with a Gold Viva Pearl Pen, but once on, it's too hard to remove.

Sunflowers

I love sunflowers! They are one of the heartiest flowers out there, they're pretty to look at and they give us sunflower seeds!
For my card, I used a Unity Unity Stamp of the Week called Sunflower-Missing you friend. I am taking the Tim Holtz Creative Chemistry 101 and tried using the Brushless Watercolor technique, but I was not happy with how it turned out, so I just painted over the flowers with some  distress ink, Creative Inspirations paint and some Egyptian Gold Twinkling H2O to give it a little golden shimmer.

Mojo Sunday!

I am entering this card over at Mojo Monday. But today was a busy Sunday, so I had to pause a moment to remember what day of the week it was. We had my niece's wedding shower today. She is my godchild, so I wanted to make something special for her. My intentions were there, but so are my allergies-full force! I had such a headache yesterday and had to watch my grandson, so my crafty time was already greatly reduced. I took a nap, woke up at 12:30am and felt like making a card. It really helps me to either have a color combo or a sketch. My niece's colors are navy blue and coral (which is kind of hard to find). Here is the Mojo Monday sketch

Here's a closeup of the Prima flowers and the Zva pearls. The inside sentiment says "May all your wishes come true". I don't have wedding stamps, so I just went with a floral theme. I think that she liked it!
I will use this as my Unity Friends with Flair entry. No more crafty time for me since my mother-in-law was in the hospital the past 2 days.
