You Rock

Hi all!  I have a card for a couple challenges today:

SparkleAndShine7

I used the sketch from Sketch Saturday and got my colors from the Little Tangles challenge – Peach and Mint.

I started with an A2 panel of watercolor paper and watercolored in a rectangle with (retired) Mint Melody ink using the Journaled Weekly 3x4 die as a guide.  Then I die cut a circle out of the same paper and embossed the diamond image from Sparkle and Shine with white embossing powder.  I watercolored over it with Crisp Cantalope ink and also stamped the sentiment on a piece of matching watercolor paper with the same ink.  I finished it off with 3 little stars in mint ink and mounted the sentiment strip and the circle with foam boosters.  The panel was then mounted on a folded A2 card made out of plain Georgia Pacific white cardstock.

This is also for Shopping Our Stash – inspiration photo (I used the peach and mint colors in the photo!) and ABC Challenge – K is for Keep it simple.  I hope you like it and TFL!
