Stampin' Up! Australia - Happy Day - Dynamic Duos #61

Dear Stampin friends,
 
The colour combo today at Dynamic Duos is Pink Pirouette and Sahara Sand.

 
 
 
....and it took me aaaages to come up with something. I used the bouncing brayer technique again to create a background with the two colours, then stamped it with the medallion image from Stampin' Up's Happy Day stamp set. I have also stamped it with the same image using the Illuminate ink to give a shimmery effect but you can't see it in the photo.    
 
 

 
I added some flourish stamps and bling to finish it off and stamped a giant SMILE sentiment :)
 
Hope you like my card. Make sure you visit the rest of the design team for inspiration:

    I think you did an amazing job, Alison! I love the bouncing brayer technique here - and that random stamp with the medallion stamp is cool :)

    Gorgeous, Alison! I love how the bouncing brayer has given such texture to the background. :-)

    Pretty card! I love the look of the bouncing brayer technique, but I still haven't tried it. I've GOT to do that. :)
