TLC and Paper Piecing for Fun!!!

Good morning everyone!! I finally had some craft room therapy this morning..after our busy weekend, it sure felt good to get my fingers inky!! I made this card for the Technique Lover's Challenge this morning on Splitcoast. Holly had a great technique for us to try called Make it Shimmer. The tutorial can be found on Lisa Spangler's blog . We were to stamp our image with water proof ink, apply color to a stamp block and stamp it over the image for the background, color the image with watercolor pencils, and blend with Perfect Pearls and water. My background color is Almost Amethyst...the Rubbernecker Iris was colored with watercolor pencils and blended with Perfect Pearls and water. Pearls and wrinkled ribbon with a button and twine finish it off. It is really shimmery IRL!!

I just love to paper piece and thought this image from Sparkle and Sprinkle called Jasmine would be perfect. The face and skin were colored with copics, Fruit Punch Stickles was added to the flowers, and the big flower was popped up on foam tape. The sentiment was from Verve's Blessings set and Adirondack Peach Brilliance was used to sponge around the image.
