It's been a while since I've posted a card once again, but I was able to make a really "easy peasy" one. This new digital stamp set is gorgeous, but I've used just a small image of it along with a sentiment from a clear set. Given my big time constraints, I had to make it easy to make and to color...as you can see. I colored it, added some sequins, matted it in Smokey Slate, and mounted it on a Pirouette Pink card base.
Well, it still needed a little something. So...it's time to share another adventure I had making this card. I decided to add some Wink of Stella. Oh, I love the shimmer it gives. Well, suddenly my "Stella" (bad girl that she was) started leaving "blops" below one of the blossoms. Hmmm...well, I had to really get creative, so I said, "okay, girl, if that's how you want to play...." So I took my fingers and started flicking adding some splatter and "played along with her!" Hehe! And of course, now the card has some really pretty glimmer and splatter that is so popular (yes, I am always the last one on the band wagon with techniques). Voila...and a fun experience in the end!
So, my wonderful friends, thank you so much for taking a closer look at my card, and I hope you have a wonderful rest of the week! You are so special to me, and I miss you all a lot. Still dealing with health issues and continue to have hope for a diagnosis.

Cheryl, I love this. Isn't it wonderful when an accident can work to your advantage. I definitely love the background you created with the wink of Stella. Your coloring is so realistic and beautifully executed. Lovely card.

Cheryl you and your bad girl "Stella" sure came up with a gorgeous card! It's so delicate....the colors soft and lovely. We're in a winter warm up here (it's going to be 60 this weekend..unheard of in Minn.) and your card has me thinking of spring! Hope and pray that they are able to treat your illness. Hugs to you...

Well, how wonderful you didn't let Ms Wink of Stella get the best of you. Now, you have given everyone a good tip if their WOS starts acting out on them. Fabulous card, wonderful blooms and coloring. I'm praying for that diagnosis and just the right medication/s for you.

Easy peasy.......that's a bit like saying Mick painted the Sistene Chapel ceiling in a weekend!!!! Oh my goodness sis, this is beyond gorgeous. Your colouring always blows me away. I am so impressed that you didn't let Bad Stella spoil this creation. I am equally impressed that you splattered her so beautifully. Love you! Xx
