The CAS-ual Fridays challenge and Just Add Ink challenge are a match made in heaven, so I took this as a sign that I needed to participate. The CFC62 challenge was to use black as a card base and at JAI127 we are to use black, white, and a color of our choice. I picked Summer Starfruit.
I stamped the flourish from Everything Eleanor in Versarmark then went over it with clear embossing powder. I experimented with layering the flower from that set, but it looked horrible so I just used the biggest one that I colored with a marker. I thought it needed a little something extra so I went over it with a clear atyou Spica pen.
I popped up the flower using Deanna's Dots. I love these things. They're about half as thick as a dimensional and perfect when you want something popped up just a tad. I think this picture shows it a little better.
And since the glitter from the Spica pen is still somewhat elusive in these pics I tried one last one to show that off. Not a great picture, but I think you get the idea.
Well, I'm off to run some errands then to enjoy this beautiful sunshine by relaxing on the patio. Thanks for stopping by!
