Reason to Smile!

Happy Friday! I had some time to get crafty today! I am playing along with this week's MFT Sketch Challenge, MFT Color Challenge, Simon Says Monday "I" Challenge, I chose ink blending. and Simon Wednesday Challenge to sparkle and shine.

I started with MFT smooth white cardstock base. I die cut another smooth white panel using Blueprints 20. For the focal image I die cut smooth white and steel gray with rectangle pierce stax. I white embossed a sentiment from True Friends and Smile stamp sets.

I ink blended using MFT ripe raspberry, jellybean green, and limelight inks. I added the word "smile" die cut from Blueprints 15 using mirror gold card stock. I die cut the scribbles using the same mirror gold card stock for my corner accenting. I felt like the card needed a few more gold touches, but sequins were too busy looking. I chose to die cut a pierced snowflake die namics using the same mirror gold card stock and used the tiny gold chads as my tiny accenting. I love how it turned out.

As always thanks so much for stopping by!

I love the mix of rich colors on the sentiment panel with the white space and the simple gold scribbles - a fabulous mix!
