Cecile is hosting Just Us Girls for Color Week and this is what she chose.
The gold gave me a chance to use my Spellbinders Sweet Blooms Border hot foil plate.
Yes I jumped on that Hot Foil bandwagon and got a Glimmer machine. I wasn't going to but there are so many enablers out there and I couldn't resist, especially after getting a chance to use Bonnie's when I visited. I must tell a sad story though it has a happy ending. Not long after playing with my machine it quit working. Somehow I had the foresight to save my receipt and Spellbinders sent me a new one. I had to wait a while and have it sent to my lake address but it's here and I'm getting good use out of it. This card was made with the first machine.
I colored the flowers with Altenw artist markers, added a foiled sentiment from Spellbinders and matted the panel with gold.

Bobby... you clearly have master the glimmer! I think I am going to jump on with the next big sale. I love the results! Thank you!
I'm so glad you didn't resist it any longer, Bobby - but sorry you had that issue! It's a lesson learned about saving the receipts for those big-ticket items.
This foiled image is just gorgeous! Such pretty pinks for that gold!

Pretty florals along the edge of your card. My glimmer quit also and my story doesn’t end so well. Oh well
You did an awesome job of foiling and coloring, Bobby! This is so elegant! Thank you for the beautiful birthday card! I LOVE those red poppies!
Beautiful card Bobby. Love the gold foiling and your watercoloured leaves and flowers. You have used these colours of the challenge to perfection!! So happy Spellbinder sent you a new machine without much fuss. xx
I haven't taken that plunge yet, Bobby... YET!! Pretty card, love the flowers!
Beautiful! I love the beautifully colored flowers cascading down the edge and that amazing gold foiled frame.
Gorgeous! Oh no! You have gone to the dark side...LOL I am trying really hard not to give in to the pressure. Good for you for keeping the receipt. I am going to ask you in a month or so how you feel about it and see what you think. Have a great day!
Oooh, you succumbed to Bonnie's enabling, eh, Bobby? I don't blame you. I saw the machine in use at the Oregon Retreat and it was amazing. Very tempting, but I'm holding off as of now. I love your beautiful coloring with all the gold and I'm glad you were able to get a replacement machine with no hassle. Hugs, Darnell
Really beautiful use of the colors and that gorgeous frame -- amazing!
WOW! Your hot-foiled card is gorgeous! Love everything! Good to hear that Spellbinders sent you a new machine; even better that you're having fun playing with it!

You're doing an amazing job with your Hot-foil machine, Bobby, this card is beautiful.
