My background is DOX inks smooshed onto white card. I'm sure it's my normal card, but it seemed to be more absorbent than usual and I got a very muted background. So I added a bit of texture with the SU Subtle ef, and stencilled the flowers with white ink. It's edged with a gold Distress Crayon.
Image was stamped on watercolour paper with Versafine Black and coloured with re-inkers, and a silver gel pen for the stars on the nightcap. I cut it with the out-of-the-box technique and matted it onto gold. I tucked some cheesecloth underneath, and added a little flourish and some punched flowers.

This is so bright and fabulous, Sabrina. The little sleep cap hanging off the cup handle is just too cute. I haven't used cheese cloth in ages....thanks for reminding me how much I love the look.

This is so adorable Sabrina. Your background looks fabulous (way brighter than I ever got DOX to look), the stencil and embossing are beautiful additions. Your coloured image looks gorgeous too!

This is beautiful and cute all rolled into one. Beautiful, beautiful background results...love the stenciled white flower results over your DOX smooshing. Your little mouse teacup is beautiful colored and such a cute and delightful image. Love the out-of-the box technique with the sweet nightcap hung over the teacup handle. Your daisy flourish is perfect to pick up on those in the image, as well! LOVE it, Sabrina!
I knew I'd be missing some lovely, lovely creations while away! You do not disappoint!
