Just a little different...for me!

Hi everyone!  Are many of you, like me, getting ready those last few things for the return to school?  New hats, school books, pens, markers, all the fun things....I've always loved stationery!

With todays card for this weeks AnnaBelle Bling Sketch, when I showed DH, I got the response "It's different".  Now was this good or bad I asked, and got the same response, so I'm not sure what to think, so you might have to tell me :)

Using some watercolour paper and my Twinkling H2O's I painted on some random shapes and waited for them to dry before I stamped the image, which is from the Floral Stems set.  I'm not sure if it was the H2O's or that the ink wasn't dark enough, but I ended up going over the image with a fine marker so that it stood out a little more.  I think what I should have done is embossed it, so maybe next time....that's if I do something like this again.

I added very little bling this week, only a 3mm Lagoon Sprinkle all on it's ownsome. 

I had ribbon pieces that were similar to the colours I had painted (make a note to check next time), but not quite a match, so I took the Twinkling H2O's and painted them, and voila a perfect match...well nearly.

I hope you can join us this week for the sketch, we'd love to see you playing along :)

Have a great day,

To me it's modern, chic, and a great card for a teen. I like it and like those colours.

I love how this has turned out Andrea. It's nice to do something out of your comfort zone now and again. I also LOVE the male card from your previous post!
