CASe this sketch

Here is a card I just made before setting off to Bath to babysit my grandchildren this evening.
I used Simon Says Stamp Artful Flowers and embossed them in gold. I then spritzed these with water and coloured with Distress inks in Mermaid Lagoon and Cracked Pistachio.
The frames were cut with SSS stitched rectangles and the inner and outer pieces popped up onto dimensional pads. The sentiment is from LOTV embossed in gold.
It follows the sketch from CASe this Sketch #126
Now to pack my bag for my overnight stay!

    Wow ... love your design Chrissie. The watercoloured flowers are such beautiful colours, and the gold is just perfect with them. The framing is what really makes everything so unique, creative and special. Awesome!! Have fun with the grandkids! xx
