Hey Everyone,
Just a quick post to share the card I created for "Atlantic Hearts" sketch challenge this week
My original idea was to use pattern papers like the sketch....but it just wasn't working! So, with some gold paint and a brush I created the background ..... a few splatters of gold and white paint, stamping, sequins.....and not forgetting a crochet doily. How pretty is this Polaroid image!
So nice of you to visit
Happy Creating
