Sparkling Surprise

This is the last week for the Meet the Verve Diva challenges on the Verve Forum at Splitcoast. Jen's the host and her challenge is to use purple. So here we go!

I was shopping last week and saw a really pretty pale purple comforter with really dark brown swirly stitching and details, so that's where my color combo originated. I wanted to keep my layout simple and modern like that comforter was.

I stamped the bird on pearl white paper and gave it some light color with my water brush and SU! inks, adding Star Dust stickles when it had dried.

What's In It?

Stamps: Birthday Surprise, So Happy (Verve)

Paper: pearlized white (Paper Accents); pale plum, chocolate chip (Stampin' Up!)
