going for gold at Indigo Blu

Hi there - how are you? I'm good but feeling tired - must have been those guides, brownies and rainbows yesterday - they've worn me out! Still it was a good thinking day and we had fun. I'm off for a run this morning too - then heading up to Kendal to get some new running shoes - exciting stuff.

I have a card to share with you today that I made for the Indigo Blu challenge this month - its called Going for Gold - I immediately thought of their sunflower stamp - so thats what I went with.



I stamped the sunflowers with versamark then heat set with gold (regular brass) WOW powders. Then I coloured the sunflowers with spectrum noir pens. I stamped the butterfly with versa and again heat set with gold. Then I fussy cut them and added to the image. I used distress ink to colour the space between the flowers then stamped the sentiment and cut out using a die.

I'd like to enter this into the following challenges:

Pan pastelpanpasteluk - frame it - the sentiment is framed
Stampin for the weekendstampinfortheweekend - sparkle and shine


Thanks for dropping by today. I really do appreciate it. Hope to see you again soon.

Hugs

Rachel xx

    Good morning Rachel,
    A "stunning" card, bright fresh and spring like, love it.
    Have a good day, hope you get your new shoes..........that is exciting.
    I used to be a Marathon Runner and loved getting new shoes especially if they had Pink on them.
