Altenew April Challenge: From Places Abroad -- Thailand

Today, I have a card to share for the

Altenew April Challenge: From Places Abroad -- Thailand:

Isn't it gorgeous?

While the colours listed on the background didn't include gold,

I knew I had to include some gold embossing on my card.

I started by stamping the Wild Hibiscus flower and butterflies

in versamark on watercolour paper and heat embossed them in gold.

I used my Zig Markers to colour them in, as well as a paintbrush and water.

I coloured some Zig Marker onto my acrylic block and added some water.

With a paintbrush, I painted some colour onto a piece of text patterned paper and

used it as a border on my card.

I stamped the sentiment (from Best Mom) in Desert Nights ink.

 

I'm also linking this up to this week's Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Anything Goes.

Thanks for looking!
