Sparkle & Texture
The current SSS Flickr challenge is about to close & being a lover of sparkle I was not about to miss it! I die cut SSS Bella Bloom & Clustered Leaves. The color combo is thanks to Deborah's March Card Exchange. Peach & yellow are not colors I tend to use, but the combination with the lavender is so Springy & pretty--think I'll use them for some Easter cards. My inks are Vivid Peach (over 10 yrs old & truly peach--not orange, in spite of the look in the picture), Distress Ink shaded lilac & Memento Dandelion. Rock Candy Distress Glitter was attached to all the die cuts using spray adhesive. You can see a bit of it in the photo--beautiful in real life.
I wanted a subtle background so finally opened my jar of translucent gel medium & spread it over a Heidi Swapp stencil. The layout is from Freshly Made Sketches & I'll enter the texture challenge at SSS Wednesday. I so appreciate your stopping by.
