Pink Sparkles

Today is the New challenge at

 and my first proper project as a design team member.

The theme for this month is 

"Pink Sparkles"

So here is my project

 I have used stamps from Wishing upon a star girl and sentiment and eyelashes from Be amazing girl.

So what did I do

 I used the different stars stamps and stamped them on a tag in versamark ink then embossed them in fuchsia sparkle wow embossing powder.

After that I used my brushes and distress ink to colour the tag. I then stamped the girl and wings on to linen card and embossed. I used pro-markers to colour the image and finished off with Sakura glitter pen.

I added pink gems to the dress and wings and around her hairline.

I finished my tag off with assorted ribbons from my stash and pearl flowers.

If you think these are nice stamps you need to check out her new stamp sets, the are stunning

Thanks for stopping by
