DREAM

               Black Thistle
A sketch challenge from The Paper Players inspired me to make this card.
I am delighted to have been 'A Cut Above' 
with this card at The Paper Players...Thank you very much x
and
using Designs by Ryn Stamp for their Challenge
Designs by Ryn Customer creation challenge
I started by using sprays and brusho's to make a background.
I use a large empty box for this, messy and fun!
I just love Lindy's sprays as they add sparkle.
I die cut circles out of the background and used a Sweet Poppy stencil 
and Prima Modelling Paste coloured with black acrylic paint for the thistles.
I stamped a Designs by Ryn leaf stamp 
and hi-lighted it with Glossy Accents and Mica Paint,
which looked lovely against the colours of the background blending.
The sentiment stamp is by IndigoBlu.
I die cut another two circles and used Gold Embossing Paste 
for the inside of the card to back the circles on the front.
The elements have been framed in black card and layered onto foam.
Loving the challenge of the sketch and the Designs by Ryn Leaf Stamp.

Oh your card is beautiful ... Inside and out! I'm glad you mentioned those sprays ... I always like recommendations as there is so much stuff out there it's hard to know sometimes what is good and what isn't. Have a good day!

Beautiful, Mac! The background is absolutely stunning. I also love how you decorated the inside of the card. However, I think my favorite part are the leaves with Glossy Accents. Thanks for playing with The Paper Players this week.

Hello Mac, thanks so much for adding this to my challenge and for your kind words. I'm really liking the composition with the different shaped black borders around nature themed stamps. Beautiful card :)
