This is my card for this week's Paper Players challenge. It was also using the colourQ challenge colors, but I missed the deadline for that one. :( What do you think? Did I manage to get the right proportions of the colors? You probably can't see it very well in the picture, but the Pool Party layer is stamped in Delicate Doilies and embossed in Iridescent Ice. It is so shiny and pretty in person. I also used some homemade shimmer mist on the image panel as well.
Now I'll share a little secret with you... I love Delicate Doilies, but I don't like for them to touch each other. I have seen lots of pretty cards where people overlap them and they look great, but I can't do it. It stresses me out. I even tried it on this card and had to start over. For the record, I don't like my food to touch either.
