Hi there! I am popping in to share a card that I made for Iron Craft Challenge.
Chaitali is the hostess of this creative and inspiring fun blog called " Cuts, Crops and Creativity"! She is into her 2nd season as she started out with 5 video interviews with some of my favorite and talented card-maker/ bloggers!
With each of the guests, Chaitali picked out 5 themes for the challenge. I plan to tackle all of them. Here is No. 1. The inspiration came from Julie Ebersole's interview. It's all about latest TRENDS- watercolors, stencils and dies are the top 3.

With that and the inspiration photo in mind, I came up with this...
~the polka dots background was created with Heidi Swapp stencil, Wendy Vecchi Embossing Paste (mixed with Peacock Feathers Distress Ink)
~the heart dies were created with CAS-ual Fri-Dies (see here) with pink vellum and paper
~The flowers were punched out from watercolor paper with a Stampin' Up punch
~gold is another trend that I love, so I added the gold strings and gold-embossed the sentiment
~let's not forget the Washi tape and sequins!
I am hoping to do all 5 challenges from Chaitali's inspiration. Let's see if I make it before the deadline! Let the fun begin!
Thanks for stopping by!
