Floral Easter Card

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

Happy Stamping,
