Wow --my camera really doesn't like this blue. This shade is pretty, but it's actually a turquoise --very close to SU's turquoise.
Anyway, I just bought this stamp yesterday & thought it was perfect for this sketch challenge. I used LA on the popcorn & a clear glaze pen on the candles. I used white craft ink on the bg swirls, & for the first time I embossed a brad!! LOL!! I didn't have white, so I made one. I felt like a little mad scientist, hold the tiny brad with a tweezers while heating it up!
***EDITED to add ~~ I had to get a new computer monitor ~~ mine, um, broke ~~ so I stole my mom's monitor and NOW the blue is the right shade!! I guess the colors *do* show up differently on different monitors!!

Your description is so funny, I have this image in my head of a little mad scientist with glasses and Albert Einstein hair stooping over your tiny little brad!
Anyway, I adore your card; the turpuoise and that fabuloius striped bg. and flowers. Love it!
