Of course I didn't have the exact colours but rumaged through my stash and matched up as best I could.
I used the explosion stamp in place of the main circle on the sketch and then added the movement splashes where the three little circles are. And I quite liked the card just as it was, but felt it needed a little more pizzazz and worked on adding dimension to the middle of the explosion.
The addition of a die cut grey spiro circle, a mustard button & loop of twine and a turqoise sprinkle dot and I was more satisfied. So to finish off I added a sentiment, sparkled up the explosion, added a border strip and rounded the bottom corners.
Supplies:
Stamps: Uniko Studio, EXPLOSION
Inks: SU, Bermuda Bay; Memento, cantaloupe, London fog
Dies: Xcut, spiro circle; Clearly Besotted, Tag Along
Punch: Xcut, corner rounder
Embellishments: doodlebug sprinkles, day to day asst; Wink of Stella, clear; button & twine from my stash
I'm also sharing my first of the month day in my life pages today. They're a bit short on photos this month. I'm thinking all the hospital visiting is getting to me and I completely forgot to take photos, so I've journalled a bit more than usual - which I actually think is not a bad thing.
Thanks so much for visiting my blog today. Hope you'll come back tomorrow when I've a bit of an exciting share.
