So here's my entry - completely and unashamedly fashioned after Chrissie's - including the Baja Breeze colour (best form of flattery right?). I went for a more subtle contrast using Marina Mist and it still looks mottled. This thumping thing is going to be part of my regular repertoire methinks (so thanks Chrissie).
Still on the subtle side, I used a clear Spica pen to add just a hint of sparkle to echo the silver embossing. I had to edge this Stampin Up Upsy Daisy stamp a bit to the left so as not to go over the square too much....needs a bit more height I think.
There is so much white space here I feel like I need to add something but that would break the guidelines. I'm leaving it as is.
Maybe I should have another go.
Thanks again to all those who leave comments and tips.
cheers,
Malyn

ReplyDeleteMalyn, I am truly flattered... thanks so much for the mention. I love your card too. That stamp is simply gorgeous, I've admired it many times on other's cards, but I don't think it's available in the UK.
ReplyDeleteIf I'd had a greater choice of markers I would have gone for a more subtle contrast too!
Thanks so much.
