I stumbled on a challenge with an inspiration photo and I fell in love with the colors and knew I wanted to play along. Unfortunately, time has not been my friend so I will be submitting this card with very little time to spare. The challenge is on Jessica Frost-Ballas' website, All the Sparkle. She is celebrating 2K Instagram followers - WOW!
I used a brayer to layer on a couple of shades of pink on the main card panel. I splattered with a bit of water. I wanted a random splatter, I'm not so good at random as I tend to like order and straight lines. So I guess I wanted orderly random splatters (HA!) I ended up with a big splotchy mess at the top of the panel. Sooo, I trimmed it down and added a couple of borders. A bit of glimmer mist was added. The flower and leaves in the floral spray were stamped in the dark blue and embossed. I then used markers to color the image in light blue and green. The fern-like leaf was also clear embossed for a little interest and shine. A sentiment and the layers were added. Done deal :)
A close up so you can see the glimmer
