Here is my offering....
I started by stamping this beautiful lady from Clarity
And then I added some colour with Spectrum Noir pencils
( as always remember to leave some white areas )
Next , I grounded her with some charcoal pencil work and added just the right amount of glitter with a Clear Wink of Stella brush pen
Then I added some green ink , just a little dusting with my stencil brush and an oval stencil ( the inner part )
I also added a few star stamps these are from the Wee fairy set...
Next , I created a background....well us stamoers do like to just make as much as possible don't we....
I used some Raspberry Adirondack ink and a very lovely stamp,,,,the Floral Swirl
I had an idea in mind , so I looked in my box of embellishments, found this yummy wooden umbrella and added some colour....can you tell how much I love my Wink of Stella pens....
So now my favourite part....putting it all together....black matts and layers really do work well to make the art work pop.
Time , to play with some flowers , ribbon , the umbrella and do some arranging...
Here is a closer look....
I mainly kept to the green theme for the floral accessories...oh and a few gems too.....
I have to confess that this card then had a Birthday greeting added to it and a matching insert, because it was for a really good friend of mine. She loves to dance and I have been lucky enough to see her perform on stage....
I must get on now....off to Anglesey ready for our workshop tomorrow....see you soon ladies...
Have a lovely weekend all....
Do enter the Challenge if you can....
Enjoy.....and see you next week
Big Friday Hugs...
