Another card for Polly's Chihuly-Inspired MIX mixed media challenge. Not so many mediums going on here but I still have acrylic and watercolour paints as well as my wrinkle free distress DOX background. The background came from my scrap box - and I'm doing so well that it's getting towards being empty! I knew that I wanted to use the Prickles stamp, inspired by the 11th thumbnail image, but on their own they weren't enough to carry the card, not even after I'd stamped and embossed the sentiment. So I added the Purple Onion Sunny Blooms and coloured it with distress re-inkers, Inktense pencils and some SN glitter pen. The smaller prickles were embossed with Iridescent Ice, then coloured with Twinkling H2Os. The background was then spattered with gold H2Os, white acrylic and water. And then I stamped a tiny feather using Versamark. The butterfly came from my scrap jar, so I can't tell you what it was coloured with. I edged the panel with a gold pen, matted it on black, added a little white gel pen detailing on the flowers and that's it. And since I'm working on addressing my December birthday cards today, it might just go straight out.
Thanks for such a super challenge, Polly. I could make loads more but I need to tidy my desk and start work on a Christmas gift.

I don't know how you create such incredible mini masterpieces in such cold/freezing conditions. We had 36C yesterday...I wish I post you some sunshine. Xx
