You are a Blessing

I set aside my first "smooshed" card, thinking I didn't like it & went on to make yesterday's card with my second try. Today I looked at my discard & decided to finish it.  I added the splatters of PTI Royal Velvet & Enchanted Evening. The flower & leaves from Lil' Inker Modern Mehndi were white embossed on the matching die cuts, sponged with the inks & covered with Wink of Stella.  
I stamped a sentiment from the same set in Brilliance Graphite Black. Lil' Inker Stitched Rectangle provides the stitching & I added a few white sequins.  I'm entering the second Lil' Inker Monthly Meet Up Challenge, Virginia's View Embossing challenge & JUGS splatters challenge. Thank you for taking time to stop at my blog.

    Beautiful, Greta! so glad you went back to it! I do that all the time...sometimes it sits for months and then I look at it and think: oh this looks pretty good, I should finish it up!! Ha ha, my friend always laughs at me...I think she finishes every single thing she starts!

    Everyone is smooshing these days! I don't even have time to smoosh a bug on the floor let alone try a new technique. I like your card here with the little smooshed corner accent. Very nice!
