Sparkle & Shine

Good morning folks & hope you are all geared up ready for a weekend full of crafting... I hope to fit in as much as possible around all the usual weekend chores like food shopping etc..
This is another little card I made yesterday... I stamped the leaves in the background with Tim Holtz distress inks then used a water brush to pull the colour in & once dry I highlighted part of them using a Clear Sakura Stardust pen..
Next I used Staz On to stamp a floral image onto another piece of card which I then water coloured with more Sakura Stardust.. I really do love the shine that they produce even when watered down...
Finally I edged both the card & mount with a gold Sakura Calligraphy pen and the mount was attached using foam pads.

I do love these gorgeous stamps which are from Inkadinkado...
Now let's all hope there is lots more crafting in store today.
Hugs
