What a beautiful day! Love it when the sun is shining, the temp is not too hot or too cold, and there is a gentle breeze. Michigan is a fickle lady, so when she gives us a day like this I am beyond happy.
Today's card was created for the Just Us Girls Challenge, to use gold in your card, and the STV Monday Challenge, to do some masking.
Here's my card:
I kinda threw this one together last night. Sometimes the ones you don't think about so much come together better than those that you ruminate over. I tend to want to micro-manage things, and often the project gets lost in the creation of it....know what I mean? Anyway, I love the look of gold embossing with watercolor. I have been using my new Zig Clean Color Brush Pens, and I absolutely LOVE them. If you are on the fence about them. I highly recommend. But I digress.......

I love the brightness and cheerfulness of your card, Judy. It makes me smile from ear to ear. And I agree that the projects you don't think about too much come together better than the ones you fuss over. Happens to me often. :)
