Kim's challenge was Dramatic Black and Gold...
My first card took 40 mins - including an epic fail at trying to use some Foil and Flocking embossing powder and foil - think my powder is too old... look at this mess!
I added some splatters with a Close to my Heart gold sparkle pen.
And while hubby was washing both cars, I took about an hour to do another one
I got to foil on this one. I added some double sided tape along the bottom and side of my card and added the gold foil. I gold embossed the Hero Arts Poppies onto the black card and then used some bleach to paint the flowers. My idea was to bleach then use some gold paint to colour the poppies, but when I dried the bleach the colour was quite golden looking so I just left it as it was.
Nice to have fun playing for fun's sake. I've been so busy of late working on design team cards to get myself ahead, it really is nice to just play!
enjoy your weekend. We are off to our son's place later to have dinner with them. It was his girlfriend's birthday yesterday so will be good to catch up,

LOve the black and gold Dawn, so dramatic.
two wonderful cards Dawn - the gold spatters add so much!
Glad I'm not the only one who has epic fails! But you turned it around beautifully Dawn. Your cards are utterly fabulous!! Hugs, Wends xoxo
I had to smile when you said you turned the card over and started again - I always say that card has two sides for a reason!!
Love the results of both cards Dawn - hope you enjoyed your dinner as much as your crafting
Blessings
Maxine
