Coral Challenge

This month over at Gina K's challenge, we were asked to use coral. Now I see that I MUST get that coral. I used Peach Bellini, and though very pretty, doesn't have the vibrancy that the Coral Reef has.
I stamped the image, A Beautiful Life, in the peach, then heat embossed it with clear. I watercolored with the same ink using a water brush and some of the ink simply smooched on to my mat. I added a touch of Jelly Bean Green, some Nuvo drops and a bit of Tonic Glitter Gloss over the flowers. Finally, I popped up the butterfly from the same set and added the sentiment, also included in the set!

For the twist, we had to decorate the inside as well. I used the same butterfly, stamped in peach, with the rest of the birthday sentiment.


Thank for stopping by. I love reading your comments!
