My card for Christine, who is undergoing chemotherapy and can use some cheering up!
I stamped flower image in Versafine Black and watercolored with Distress Inks, then gilded the edges with gold ultra thick ep (a trick I learned from Sabrina!). Hope our cards bring Christine some cheer!

Gorgeous! I love the warm yellows and oranges in this card with the dramatic black. I have to admit I immediately thought of Sabrina when I saw the gold ep around the frame. That technique adds such a beautiful touch and really ups the look of the card. I think Christine will feel like there is a ray of sunshine in her home when she sees this. Fabulous card.

That's a fabulous flower stamp, and such great rich, warm colours. I'm sitting on a train cold and wet, and it's making me feel warm just to look at it.

Simply gorgeous! The gold edging really pulls it all together, and gives it such an artistic look and feel. Love the colors!

Here I am sitting here today trying to work out what to do with my new TH flower see (the very same set). This had given me some inspiration. Love the gold embossed edge.
