Hi, Friends.......

I am here with a card I made for Unity - Friends with Flair.  I used the color palette for the current Waffle Flower Photo Inspiration Challenge:  

Doesn't that color combo look intriguing???  I have had a lot of fun playing with it.  

For today's card, I used the Unity - She is Without Fear, an itty bitty I chose as a prize one time.  (THANKS, Unity!!!)   I really love this encouraging scripture verse.  

In preparing for making several cards for the Waffle Flower challenge, I gathered a bunch of my scraps that were in the palette and prepared some backgrounds.  This one features my layered, double embossing technique.  I dry embossed with my Darice - Checkered folder and then heat embossed several times with gold powder.  This really heightens up the texture!

I stamped my sentiment with Versamark and heat embossed with deep turquoise powder.  Then I rubbed each edge of the sentiment panel on the pad and heat embossed with gold powder.  I colored in the petals of the flowers with my Wink of Stella glitter pen for a little extra pizazz.  :)  You can see the gleam a little bit in the angled photo below.
     

One thing about spending time making the background special....which I LOVE to do!!....is that the card needs very little extra embellishing after the sentiment is added.  Love that....because I wouldn't want to cover it all up.  :)  

Hope you have enjoyed my card.  And I hope you will enter my giveaway.  I was going to publicize it around to get more people to see my blog,  but I decided with a giveaway this big I wanted to make it especially for people who actually come to my blog to see my projects and not just casual visitors.  So, I don't mind if you tell others about the giveaway, but I am only going to have an announcement at the top of my blog.  :)  

I have some new followers....YAY!!!....but I will introduce them in a different post.

Have a wonderful weekend!!!
