Happy Friday, friends!
A new day to inspire your creativity with a color challenge from the Fab Friday Challenge blog. I loved having a day or two to create early this week, and these colors are so fun to play with!
I've got new supplies in the house, and couldn't wait to use the Secret Garden stamp set and Framelits.
I did some piercing but poked from the back to the front of the DSP and card stock to get a more textured result. The colors have a bit more zing IRL, I really like them together. I find Sahara Sand makes anything pop as long as you include white with it.
Have you tried the new large rhinestone jewels yet? I've had fun discovering how to color mine to match my projects! I put a drop of re-inker, and a tiny glob of Crystal Effects together. Using a scrap of card stock like a toothpick, I paint it on, let it dry, and admire the new look. The Pink Pirouette-painted jewels are in the flower centers.
Be sure to visit the Design Team and see their inspiring projects!

Cindy, I love the flower stamped on DSP. And thank you so much for the tip on coloring rhinestones. I tried it with pearls with mixed results, but I think it would work well with the large rhinestones. TFS!
