Today is Sept. 11. Take a minute to remember the fallen on this day and God Bless America!
I have created this card for 3 challenges.
Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge #100-a sketch
Colour Create Challenge #53-red, gold and cream
Just Us Girls #50-technique-cracked glass
I wanted to do a Chinese card using these colors. I stamped the crane with red ink. It is Hanko Designs. Then I kept embossing it with thick clear embossing powder. Then I put it in the freezer for a minute and then cracked it. The red panel is embossed with black embossing powder using a stamp by Hero Arts. The paper is Basic Grey. The saying is a rub on by Creative Imaginations. I added black rain drops and a gold sheer ribbon. Thanks for stopping by!
Note-I had first embossed the crane with gold but didn't like it so I redid it using red. I like it a lot better!
