Pixie Sparkled Blooms for The Paper Players Challenge #583

Several weeks ago I created several card panels with Pixie Sparkle Powders and am starting to put them together into cards.  The challenge at The Paper Players inspired my stamp choice. The flowers started as a piece of photo paper sprinkled with Sunburst Pixie Sparkle Powder and sprayed with water.  When the piece air dried I stamped the bouquet from a retired Close to my Heart stamp set called "Cherish Her" with Versafine Onyx Black Ink and Clear Embossing Powder. (The sister greeting is also from that set.) I then used a green brush marker to color the leaves and stems.  The gingham paper is very old Crystal Blue B & T paper from Close to my Heart.  The bold Happy Birthday is from "Sweetest Birthday Wishes" stamped in Capri Ink.

Here is the sketch graphic from The Paper Players that inspired my card layout:

Country Dragonfly with Case This Sketch #355

I love CAS card sketches and the current one from Case This Sketch enabled me to ink up several new stamps and one previously unused stamp.  Country Dragonfly and the sentiment from Spruced Up Cardmaking are new and the ink spots are from the Strokes of An Artist stamp set which I've had for months.  I used second generation Lagoon ink for the bigger ink spot and first generation Lagoon Ink for the smaller ink spots.  The sentiment and dragonfly were stamped in Sapphire Ink.  A Purple Tri-Blend marker was used to color in the dragonfly which was popped up with 3D Foam Dots.

Here is the fabulous sketch that inspired my card layout:
