I started with these supplies ...
I am really drawn to the blues, turquoise and purple at the moment. I started by inking up the background stamp and giving a spritz before stamping. Then I spritz some white perfect pearls to give a lovely shimmer.
I then stamped and embossed the circles and sentiments in Princess Gold. When you have threads, it's easier to have a mounted panel so you can tape down the threads at the back before glueing it down keeping it all clean and tidy.
Come and pop on over to Inkspirational to see what the rest of the design team has come up with ... and then join in the fun!
This is such a fabulous way to create the baubles and the colours are a great combo. This card would also be good for our challenge at Time Out, would be good to see you there. Here is the link
