Freshly Made Sketches #21

Hi Everyone!  This evening I have a card for you playing along with the weekly challenge at Freshly Made Sketches. 




This is a simple but fun sketch, and I had a blast using a new stamp and its coordinating punches, along with some retired colors of ink and cardstock.







While I love SU's Dazzling Details and Dazzling Diamonds glitter, I have a new favorite tool to add shimmer -- my clear Atyou Spica pen.  While Dazzling Details and Diamonds give more of a glitter effect, the Spica pen gives more of a shimmer.  I hope you can see what I mean in the photo below.  You may have to click on it to see the enlarged version.  And to top off the flower center, I added a small basic rhinestone.


Thanks for looking at my blog. I appreciate all the wonderful comments everyone leaves. Happy Stamping!

    I agree with Lesley: your colors are wonderful! I like the embossed background and triple treat flower stamp, too. Nice!
