I used a "credit card" which was really a used gift card. I scraped the back on and using a die cut, I added a pumpkin. I added glue and gilding flakes to make it look Cinderella's pumpkin. I added quilled roses and glitter stickers and colored rhinestones. I had a look in my head that didn't play out. I shared as an encouragement. If we only share the projects that turned out spectacularly well, then someone else looking at our gallery might get easily intimidated, especially a beginner. Another reason I'm sharing is a lot of people are afraid to do mixed media. What causese that fear? Fear that it won't look right? Well guess what, sometimes that happens and that is real life. NOT HAPPILY EVER AFTER, sounds negative, but it is real.

I'm so glad you shared your card! I like the dark colors yet sparkly look of the card, it brings out the contrast. Sometimes things just turn out more as a process learner and that's okay. I like it just the same! Thank you for making a sample for the challenge this week!

I think the gilding flakes look super, and I like that you included hope, we all need that. I had five fails with a background technique that normally I like this morning, so I appreciate your encouragement.
