Smile!



Hello, friends!  I have a card to share today playing along with a few blog challenges.








 I  started with select white card stock.   I ink blended all of the panels using harvest gold, berry sorbet, tumbled glass, green parakeet, and pinefeather inks.  I die cut the beautiful flowers from Into the Blooms II dies.  I have wanted this set for a while.  It always sells out. (It is in stock right now and on sale!) It did not disappoint.  I love the beautiful blooms!


I added coordinating jewels to the centers. I added some splatters and set the flowers aside to focus on the background.  I started with pure black card stock.  I used the tin stitch die then used the medium scallop stacker.  I used some white pigment ink to add some definition around the edges.  


Next, I white embossed Penciled Outlines Stamps and Dies  for the large frame.  I used the Script Background Stencils with more white pigment ink. I use a sponge to buff and smudge the white ink to create definition.



For the sentiment, I die cut and layered several "smile" words using the prism die. I ink blended the panel to coordinate.  I added all of my elements and added the panel to a top folding  select white card stock base using foam tape.  I finished the card with a few clear sequins.



  
As always thanks so much for stopping by!
