Leave a Little Sparkle ...

      It's time to share the card I made for the June challenge at Beccy's Place, and I was inspired by one of Beccy's sentiments which I merged before printing with her lovely "Hydrangea" image.  The theme this month is the usual "Anything Goes with a Beccy's image" but the optional theme she offered was "Doodling."

     I colored the flower with my ProMarkers and then added white and purple glitters to the blossom.  I doodled the stitching around the edges with a purple gel pen.  The little mulberry-paper flower came from Recollections and I used a white gel pen to accent the center.

     This is a very CAS, single-layer card with lots of white space.

Hydrangea

     This very CAS design is probably my favorite of the things I've made so far this week. Once I had die cut the image and matted it, I knew that had to be the main focus of the design.  The hydrangea image and sentiment are both from Beccy's Place, where the theme is Always Anything Goes with an optional twist - this month the twist is "floral."

Knowing I wanted a simple design, I used the sketch

I found at Paperbabe Stamps.
