Starlights and kraft card!!! Yes, they do mix for a really different look!! Here's my step by step...........
Step 1:
I chose the Flower and Bug stencil and Misty Green, Pink Sorbet
and Canary Yellow Starlights - LOVE the Canary Yellow, it's so vibrant!!! I began by applying the green for the leaves, then on to
Pink Sorbet for the outer part of the flower petals and Canary Yellow for the
centres.
Starlights dry very quickly, so once that was done, I went back to first colour and continued to blend, swapping colours until I was happy. I did this twice, one for the main card and one to cut out the leaves and flowers.................

Step 4:
I edged the main card and the background layer with Inca Gold Alchemy Wax, layered up the cut
out flowers and leaves, offsetting the leaves slightly. I mounted the layers on to a
7x7 card blank, added Gold Gilt Detail Sparkle to the edges & centres of the flowers and the card was finished.................


Thank you very much for reading my first blog post for Imagination Crafts, I hope you like my card.
