Karen's color challenge this week is to use gold or silver pigment on white. This card started yesterday with the inspiration from sistersandi. She created a baby stocking for the cas challenge, and it inspired me to try making a card for a great niece or nephew who will be born just before Christmas. Never watercolored with gold pigment. Watercolored using the H20 mustard green, and then for the shading used a brown watercolored pencil to do the shading. Printed this gifted digi on tag board lightweight, it was a gift from a dear friend. Added pearl accents and an embossing folder. Scored lines with the scorpal, and created a border with the gold ink pen. Since it was just hanging in midair, added the gold twine to ground it. I will pen the babies name after knowing what it will be.TFL

Simply stunning. I thought I might see some silver paper here. I do love the gold. It doesn't look like a first time to use gold to me. It looks like you're an expert.

So beautiful, Linda. The parents need to frame it and put it in the baby's room. Lovely in gold and white and I like the gold twine.
