Karen's colors today are Pool Party, Island Indigo, and Perfect Plum, and for dessert "make it golden".
These are tough colors for me to match. Especially the Perfect Plum--all my purples seem too bright.
Started off this card looking for some flowers to emboss in gold and watercolor but then there were these balloons looking for some love, just begging to be jazzed up.
So I stamped and embossed the balloons and watercolored with Spectrum Aqua aquamarine, teal and wildflower. But the colors just weren't right so I went back in and added some HB2, BT3, BT5, and IB1 from my Spectrum Noir markers. Also added some glittery washi tape to make it even more golden and finished off with some faux stitching using gold gel pen. My stitching is a little bit wonky because I had a two year old on my lap who kept trying to put the cap back on my pen. I'll miss these days.

Love it! Nice use of the colors on the balloons. Love the gold sparkly edging and gold embossing. The round corners are terrific. Love, love the open CAS design. Great card! TFS
