I love the Gingersnaps blog......they have the best challenges. I've been lurking there for quite a while. Once I finally decided it was more important to play than to have a perfectly organized studio I have had so much fun. I love using my stamps again. And my inks and whatever else I can round up in this explosion of art supplies I have going!
I was visiting my so very creative friend Lucy today and we were digging through her bits and pieces and she was kind enough to donate (uh, let me swipe, LOL) a lot of the neat stuff I used. It's good to have a friend who saves her little scraps and doesn't think you are crazy for doing so either! I used TH Distress Ink in Faded Jeans distress ink and Glimmer Mists in Seaglass, Suede and Old Brass. So lot's of sparkle which makes me very happy too except I have a hard time getting photos of sparkles and transparencies especially at night and I'm much too impatient to wait til tomorrow. :)

Absolutely beautiful Nan!
what a beautiful ,rich card!!!!
you asked how I did the hydrangeas. I took a picture of a vase on my mantel. Then I went to photoshop and began with color layers, then a tiny bit of brushes, and 1 filter.
thanks fora asking. I am hooking on the painting part of photoshop!
Playing is always more fun ... think of the organization process as a new discovery (oh, I forgot I had that ... it can often lead to creations you never imagined) ... fabulous design.
Wowza, this is absolutely stunning!!! I just love all of the shimmer (yes, some came through in the photo!), the beautiful layering, the fabulous composition - everything! Thanks for sharing and playing along at Gingersnap!
Love this stunning piece! The shine is just delightful! It is too difficult to be organized and craft, so I gave up on the organized part. Sometimes I can't find my glasses!
This is wonderful, I like the added yellow flowers, they really make it pop!
This is so beautiful! Thanks for taking the challenge - you rocked it.
Congratulation Miss Ginger Gem! Way to go!
Congratulations on becoming a Gingersnap! Your fabulous card was well deserving of the award.
Well done!
