I couldn't let
Merry Monday's challenge go by without playing along. The challenge is to use sequins. Scroll through my blog - I dare you to find many cards at all without a few sequins. I often just use three sequins to highlight a sentiment or image, but for a sequin
challenge, I thought I ought to use a few more.
It's not particularly creative to plop sequins on a wreath - but I love the look of that open wreath. It's also a really nice mix of sequins. It's not just the photo that makes them look different - there are three shades of green and two of red, plus the golden sequins. The picture doesn't do the embossing powder justice. In a different light, you can see that the speckles are actually golden.
- Stamps: Hero Arts wreath, Simon Says Holiday Hellos (sentiment)
