I started by inking just the center section of a card panel by taking a scrap piece of card and tearing it on 2 sides to get rugged edges. I inked the middle portion of the card with a combination of Distress Oxide Inks in the colors Speckled Egg and Bundled Sage.
After the ink blend dried, I chose some botanical stamps from my stash and a sentiment stamp from Kelly Creates; leaving the images colorless except for the middle of the flower, which I glued Peacock Glitter from Recollections using a Quickie Glue Pen (my "go to" for adhering loose glitter in small areas). For the final touch, added flat back pearls and mounted on on a light blue mat.
I enjoyed making this simple design and look forward to creating another. Until next time, Happy Crafting!

CAS is the bane of my creative existence so I feel ya! I, too, am trying to expand my creative style...it is not easy! I think you did a fabulous job here! I love the colors. I have fallen in love with Speckled Egg and am practicing using it with a few other colors! It also works well with Iced Spruce! Thanks so much for a beautiful submission to our challenge at 613 Avenue Create!
