Festive Friday #101

It’s Festive Friday and time to start challenge #FF0101! We are recognizing International Wetland Day and that is what we used to create our Inspo List. To join in the challenge choose any 3 (or more) items from the list to use as inspiration for a card or project, whether it represents International Wetland Day or not is totally up to you!

I chose green, blue, and florals as my inspiration. The background was made with alcohol inks, and to add the gold I used foil. By pressing the foil onto the background before the alcohol is completely dry the foil adheres to the wet areas, which is usually where the colors meet. I chose a gold die cut to place behind the floral, whic I colored with Copic markers. I used some Nuvo drops to create the middle of the flowers and some gold pearls to finish it off.

For more inspiration, be sure to visit the rest of the  Festive Friday Challenge Design team.
