Less is more V strictly

Here is a card I made whilst watching strictly - inspired by sequins and bling.  I shall enter it into the Less is more challenge from my own blog.    This week the theme is a sketch.  As I am not happy with how this turned out, I have another idea in mind, so intend to play along again!

I have seen this technique floating round blog land for a while and fancied giving it a go!

I stamped the Hero Arts image using Hero Arts Unicorn Hero Hues ink pad, then heat embossed it with white embossing powder.   

I thin coloured it with copics, added some sparkly gems, and used a sentiment from this MFT set.

I defo need more practice at this technique, but it was good fun,

Thanks for stopping by.

Stamp: Hero Arts Blooming Meadow, MFT Pretty Poppies.

Ink pad: Hero Arts Unicorn Hero Hues.

Sparkly gems: Dusky Pink, Plum, Light Blue, Lilac
