Hi all, another card with no challenge...bummer for me!
I did the tapping pad onto foil, spritzing with water and dragging my card into it with this card as well. I then noticed how the center was fairly light and so decided on the round stamp I used. I stamped the Asian lady after and cut her out then popped her up. I gave a bit of color to the image stamped directly onto my bg. I then took the same pad and sponged extra color on the outside edges (the pad has 4 colors) making my circle seem even more pronounced. I glued this panel to a light gray card and then cut my word from light gray.
My bead was made with a strip of lavender Asian paper wound around a stick (the kind for cooking meat & veggies on the grill). I glued the end and took it off the stick..easy!
Thanks for looking!
