This card was inspired by APRVSN17C (Stripes and Gold), Merry Monday #241 (red + green + white) and Global Design Project #80 (Case the Designer - Louise Sharp). I embossed my main image on watercolor paper using Gold embossing powder and colored it with inks and an Aqua Painter brush. I used gold embossing powder for the sentiment as well, gold ribbon and gold foil paper to mat the striped patterned paper. No fancy techniques on this one - just cute stuff put together!
