Managed a card this afternoon/evening after getting back from up north and visiting our little princesses.
Parameters were a bit challenging this week.
Project: Drop down
Colours: Supper Table
Element: Season
I made an Easel card for my Drop Down element - it drops down to post. My colours were inspired by a placemat I used at my table. Season is Summer - with my summer succulents. And my shiny element - silver mirror card leaves, silver embossing on the succulents and silver gems.
I used some Anko patterned paper (from KMart). I stamped the Hero Arts Succulent Bouquet with Versamark and embossed with silver powder from Ranger. I used some teals and greens from Altenew's 36 pan watercolour to add my colours. Once it was die cut, I added it with some 3D tape and some silver die cut leaves from Pinkfresh Studio. Finished with some silver gems.
We had a great time up north, very relaxing for me and hubby did lots of chain sawing and cutting up some dead trees. And got to stop in and see our little girls. Grace was full of life after waking from a nap... not a usual thing for her now at 4 1/2 but had been extra busy helping her Dad around the house and garden. Florence was full of similes and as wiggly as a worm - trying move around and clamber up us while we were holding her. She is nearly 5 months now and growing so quickly.
Hope you all are having a great weekend and get to do something you love.

That sounds like a perfect weekend Dawn :)
Love your card. I picked the drop down and shiny elements, and I love your use of the supper and season prompts.
My highlight was that there is a date set for the move to the 'new' house!! 9th Dec, so loads of packing in the meantime!!
Blessings
