I first blended inks on my cs, trying to leave a spot almost white to create the illusion of a light source - a technique that Heather is a master with. Then I stamped the images, sometimes using marker and sometimes using the pad. Stamped the script (from French Foliage) after stamping off first and then wiping off a bit of the ink in random places for a vintage look. Stamped the sentiment and then matted with my "perfect layers" tool (thank you, Cathy!) and added stickles for sparkle. I tried sequins but I felt that made it too busy for my tastes.

This is gorgeous, Maura! Your attention to detail and thoughtful design is so evident and effective. I especially love the way you created light! (And glad you love the Perfect Layers! I was cursing them last night - but that was operator error!!)
