This is for Diane aka Fiona51HYCCT challenge - Two by Two, Side by Side.
Pink and purple are the colours for the challenge....no matter how many times I photograph this card, I cannot get the purple to look purple or the pink to look pink. About the only thing that is true to colour is the minty blue/green background.
I created the background by sponging on very watery distress ink (smack ink pad onto a sheet of aluminium foil and squirt in a LOT of water). I used a light blue ink and a sponge that had remains of green on it. I randomly stamped around all the edges using Stazon Gothic Purple (fantastic dense ink).
On a piece of cream cardstock I stamped an image, masked her, then stamped again at a slightly different height. After fussy cutting the girls I adhered them to the background and then drew around them with a paint pen.
Finished off with a white border, lots of white spots and dots and pink liquid pearls.

This is fabulous. You make it look so easy but your technique is amazing. I didn't even realize that the girls were fussy cut and placed on the background. That background is gorgeous and a perfect contrast to the rosy dresses.

Susie, this is spectacular. I love all the pink liquid pearls dots. It has such a comforting quality about it, like a big hug from a friend. Pinned and faved.
