Another new sketch at the Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge blog this week (WMSC18). I'm still playing with the Musical Backgrounds set by Waltzingmouse Stamps, I just love it! I got these lovely lemon Prima flowers recently so I decided to go with a Pearl and lemon color combo this week.
Here's this week's sketch. I don't really like triangles so I just took them as elements. The centre flower and small one I made, there's a link to the tutorial here. The others are Prima. Yes I did stick all those little sequins on at the bottom!
The sentiment is from the Seasons of Love - Tags set by Waltzingmouse Stamps. I stamped it in lemon yellow and added some white paint around the edges.
To make the flowers pop a little more I sponged some more white acrylic paint over the tops of the flowers. Oh yea, the musical background I heat embossed in silver pearl.
The little flower shaped pearl embellishment came from an old vintage earring as did the little pearl leaves. I threw in a few buttons too. I think this would make a special anniversary card!
