I colored the image with Copic markers and added some sparkle with my Sparkle Pen from Spectrum Noir.  The background is made with washi tape and adhesive ribbon from my stash. I have been struggling with how to use washi tape for a long time and I finally stepped out of my comfort zone and tried this.  After applying the washi and ribbon tape, I mounted the piece on black cardstock and then again on the base card.  I added a sentiment from Stampendous and 3 black rhinestones to finish it off. Thanks so much for stopping by - check out our challenge this week to see some wonderful inspiration from the other members of the Design Team and be sure to get your project linked up for a chance to win some product from Di's Digis.  So great to see you here, as always, and have a wonderful day!

PIP Challenge 1820

Welcome to PIP Challenge 1820, an Anything Goes challenge sponsored this week by Sparkle N Sprinkle.  Thank you so much to Sparkle N Sprinkle for providing an image for us to use. I chose this beautiful Happy Birthday sentiment called "Love and Laughter".  Please visit their website to see all the great products they have to offer.

I printed the sentiment on white card stock and "daubered" the background with distress inks (Broken China and Peacock Feather).  One of my daubers was pretty worn and it made a feathery  design, which I really liked. Then I used black ink and a  Tim Holtz stencil (Wildflowers) to make the flowers on the bottom of the card. I added some black twine and a black gem for dimension and spritzed the whole thing with shimmer mist. I layered this on black cardstock and then again on a white card base.
