Happy Monday, hope you had a nice weekend. Saturday it was cold and rainy then Sunday was sunny and much warmer. We spent sometime Sunday working on the “mud bowl”, better known as the back yard. With all the rain we’ve had the last couple months and the dogs running around we needed to put down some grass seed and cover it with hay, with any luck new grass will start growing soon and the dogs will stay a little less muddy.
Today’s card is for the Paper Craft Crew card sketch challenge. Click on the image below to be directed to their blog so that you can see the great cards designed by their design team, you might even decide to play along.
The background of my card is a piece of watercolor paper with an Emerald Envy wash in the middle. Once the paper was dry, I used versamark and gold embossing powder to create the splattered look using a stamp from the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set. The watercolor paper was adhered to a mat of Delightful Dijon cardstock and put on a card base of Very Vanilla with Stampin Dimensionals. The banner is from the Moroccan Designer Series Paper, the stamped image in Delightful Dijon is from the Moroccan Nights stamp set. Happy Birthday is from the Fresh Fruit stamp set and also gold heat embossed. The petite petal punch, 3/4 inch circle punch and tree Builder punch created the flower on the upper left corner. A gold metallic shape finishes off the center of the flower.
To go along with the card is a handmade envelope made from Moroccan Designer Series and the Envelope Punch Board. Why not make a card with matching envelope today?

I have struggled with this stamp set so much. You make it all look so easy with such a beautiful card! Thank you so much for playing along with us at the Paper Craft Crew this week. We hope to see you back next week!
Such a gorgeous, rich colour palette, Karen. I like how you embossed the gold splatter in the background, and the hand made matching envelope is a great touch. So glad you joined our Paper Craft Crew challenge this week 🙂 ~Deborah, DT
