Simply Bling

This week at Pile It On, we're all about BLING. Our sponsor is Floppy Latte Digital Designs, and the winner will receive a $6 coupon to FLD; $10 if the winner used an FLD image. I just adore her images; they work as well as outlines as in full color.

I used Flowers in a Glass by Floppy Latte Digital Designs:



I couldn't quite capture it with a photo, but the vase is painted with Crackle Accents (from the same company that does Glossy Accents), which gives it a porcelain effect. The flowers were colored with Sakura glaze pens and Smooch pearlized inks.

I used Flower Soft and wrapped wire to make these tall white flowers. I'm not sure if they exist in nature, but they popped into my head when I saw this image.I colored the wire with a Copic to give it a green base.

I was inspired by this week's Monday Lunchtime Sketch at Technostamper, although I adapted it for a "tall" card. Technostamper is a Stampin' Up! site, and even though you aren't required to use SU! products, I did use their Whisper White paper & classic ink.

I stamped a lace design by Kaisercraft directly onto the background in the SU! white ink, and heat-embossed it with a mixture of white embossing powder and Prisma glitter. I didn't know that I could just add glitter to embossing powder, it worked great. Now I need to stock up on tiny plastic containers...!

The sentiment is from Prickley Pear's Clearly Beautiful Cardinal set. It's inked in green onto a scallop die cut (a•muse studio), and framed with an adhesive gemstone circle (Recollections).
