Blushing and Twinkling
Oh it is the time for weddings! And I’m so excited to use my new “Wedding Party” set from Flourishes.
I colored in this sweet blushing bride with LuminArte using their Pure Colors, Pure Mica and Twinkling H2O’s. You can find them all over at Flourishes here. I used SU! Markers to color in the bride’s skin.
It’s almost Mother’s Day! How about giving Mom a wheelbarrow full of twinkling flowers on her special day. Again I used my LuminArte paints to color in the flowers, part of the wheel and to add some sparkle to the ground. Fun stuff! Hope everyone’s weekend is going well and that tomorrow is a bright and wonderful day.
