There is a quick story to go along with this card.
Hubby and I live near Rochester, New York the home of the Lilac Festival.
The first year we were married he took me to my first Lilac Festival and bought me a gold plated lilac charm.
Yes folks, it was a gold dipped actual lilac!!!
So since this is the last day of our 2019 Lilac Festival I thought a gold dipped flower was in order.
Since I am still playing with the technique of Melinda Stearns I chose to print out a Graciellie digital design called “A Christmas Hello”.
Using the Lifestyle Crafts circle dies, a ruler and a Prismacolor Premier 01 pen to apply the accents.
Next I stamped the verse from Taylored Expressions “Many Minis-Holidays” with StazOn jet black ink.
This piece I applied to gold card stock on a white card stock base.
To finish I colored the poinsettia with Kirarina WiNK gold metallic paint.
That gold poinsettia looks fabulous! Your use of the circles in this design looks great. Thanks for joining us at Inkspirational!
