Share Joy Challenge #18

Hello!

The latest Taylored Expressions Share Joy Challenge is up! I just loved the inspiration picture, with the gradient colors, the banner, and the wood. 

For my card, I ended up just incorporating the gradient colors, and it was fun!

I used the adorable Love Is An Adventure, along with Distress Inking, and watercoloring. I started with the heart balloon image, black heat embossing it onto watercolor paper. I then watercolored the balloon, and the bucket, using the Kuretake Gansi Tambi pigments.

After I die cut it, I allowed it to dry. I then heat embossed my sentiment in white powder onto a piece of black card stock. I then began working on my ink blending. I started from dark to light using a round sponge applicator. I then adhered the black sentiment strip with foam, along with a strip of gold glitter paper. I attached the heart balloon with foam, as well, and rounded the bottom corners.

What do you say? Give it a go? I hope you do, and I can't wait to see! Thanks so much for stopping by!
