I also wanted to play along with the latest Tic Tac Toe challenge using the first column (flowers, embossing, gems). I have dry embossed with an embossing folder plus white embossed the sentiment and added lots of gems.
I'm really happy how my card turned out - I don't make enough flower cards, so it's nice to tuck one away in my stash. Also, again those colour combos that stump me always look fab when KReated too, Thanks for popping in.
EDITED: 2/5/24: Really happy to be chosen as the JAI Winner and big thanks to them for pushing me outside my comfort zone. This was the kind comments from their DT:

Of course the flower I coloured doesn't have a die so I ended up fussy cutting it out and as it was watercoloured I used my 100 Copic black marker to try and blacken the edges and tidy the cut edges up a bit, this worked fine apart from where the marker went for a skid on the petal!!
I've also acquired from the SU! retirement sale the Dots & Spots coverplate die, I was so happy they reduced it finally to a "real price" as it retired. I wasn't prepared to pay $72 (kiwi dollars I'm talking about) for a coverplate die no matter how cute it is, when most companies charge half that price and I added a really old SU! embossing folder for some more dots (Perfect Polka Dots).

Striking combination of dotted background and
beautifully soft hydrangeas
Beautiful hydrangeas are a lovely way to use
the challenge colours in Karen's fun design
Such a pretty use of the challenge colours.

That is a challenging color combo Karen but you met it beautifully! great idea to watercolor when you don't have the right color ink. Very pretty card. Thanks for joining us at TicTacToe this week.
ReplyDeletethanks Betty for your kind words
DeleteYour beautiful project doesn’t look like you were stumped, Karen. Sorry about choosing that combo. I did have a little what was I thinking when I started but it all turned out in the end.
ReplyDeleteI love your idea to use hydrangeas and the sorry repetition works really well. Very pretty card.
Warm wishes, Diane
Thanks Di I love it when the combos stumps me and then it all works out OK in the end.
DeleteYour card is lovely! The hydrangea was the perfect choice of bloom to go with the challenge colours. Thanks for sharing with us at Just Add Ink.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks Tina that is so kind.
DeleteWhat a gorgeous colour combo and you have taken full advantage for your dotty themed design Karen! Love the shading on the hydrangeas which tie in the colours of your background so well. Thank you for coming to play with us at Tic Tac Toe Challenge! Vicky x
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Vicky for that
