sending hugs...

 Hello!  I'm popping in with a card that I made a few days ago, but never got the chance to post.  I created this for the Sunday Stamps challenge.  It is a beautiful color challenge this time around and as I was checking the new Paper Players challenge I see that my card fits that one, as well!  I love it when that happens, don't you?! The Paper Players challenge is to add sparkle. 

Sunday Stamps always has great color challenges so I try to play along because I love a good color challenge!  I read the pinky colors as more toward the purple or mauve side and used Milled Lavendar and Victorian Velvet distress oxide inks for the flowers.   I used Faded Jeans and Chipped Sapphire distress oxides for the leaves.  The Pinkfresh Studio Joyful Peonies image was hot hoiled with my Glimmer using black foil.  Then I used the coordinating Joyful Peonies stencils and the distress oxide inks to fill in the image.  Once that was done I die cut it with the matching die.   I used the Pinkfresh Studio Folk Edge rectangle dies to cut the white and dark blue layers.  Those were adhered to a card base and then I layered on the image and the sentiment.  The sentiment from the Pinkfresh Studios Perfect Sentiments hot foil plate and was foiled in gold.   I finished off the card with lots of sparkly gold sequins.  

Thanks for stopping by and have a lovely day!
