I used Distress Inks to color the background sky panel and the border die cut foreground. After inking, I spritzed water to mottle the colors a bit.
The foreground panel is popped up with a very thin foam adhesive and then the whole panel is adhered to the card base with a thicker foam square.
For this next card I took inspiration from The Card Concept #6 and Freshly Made Sketches #129.
My card follows Clean & Layering style, with the embossed panel inspired by the white cake & the double scalloped senitment panel by the cake plate.
This final card is for the Craft Hoarders Anonymous Challenge #4 and Merry Monday #101: Grey, Red & White challenge.

Sparkle, Glitz & Glam
The wreath image is stamped and embossed with silver embossing powder and a few of the berry dots are touched with red stickles.
The white panel is attached to the card base with the white glitter tape, so it has a swing and movement to it that I really like.
Thanks for stopping by,
Jacquie
