Sending a smile...

 


Happy New Year to one and all and it's time for the first challenge of 2023 over on the Stamping Sensations blog.

The theme this month is "add some sparkle"...remember the main focus should be stamped.

We have the 2 prizes below this month, Highlight Crafts Crown and Glory stamp set and Lightly Fluttered die set.



I had treated myself to this stamp set a few weeks ago and was desperate to try it out. I white embossed the leaves and then stamped and embossed the sycamore seeds in silver sparkle embossing powder.  I then added some distress ink in blue and grey leaving some areas lighter.  I then added some splodges in silver and black (I like the black splodges).  I then added some sparkly sequins to finish.  I am pleased with how it turned out.

Pop over to the Stamping Sensations blog to check out what my teamies have made.
